Product Description

The PANASONIC LUMIX G FISHEYE 8mm F3.5 offers a diagonal angle of view of 180-degree, bringing an distinctive perspective & unique deformation effect. It gives not only photos but also movies an extraordinary view to add an impressive scene to the story even for TV contents, films & web movies. Comprising ten lenses in nine groups, the new lens system features an outstanding compactness, taking advantage of the Micro Four Thirds system standard to achieve dramatic downsizing to the worlds smallest & lightest size*. The adoption of an ED lens achieves a stable descriptive performance from close-up to infinity minimizing chromatic aberration & distortion. The closest focusing distance is as short as 0.1m, however, the Lumix G Fisheye 8mm F3.5 incorporates inner focus system which enables a long working distance & users do not have to come closer to the subject even for the close-up shots. The Lumix G Fisheye 8mm F3.5 lens allows use of the high-speed & accurate contrast AF system when mounted on the LUMIX G Micro System cameras, for more comfortable & enjoyable shooting. Seven blades give the aperture a rounded shape that produces an attractively smooth effect in out-of-focus areas when shooting at larger aperture settings. Also, a sheet filter such as a gelatin filter can be inserted in the rear of the unit for free filter expression. The inclusion of stepping motor makes the focusing action smooth & silent for use in both photo & movie recording. The lens also features a highly reliable metal mount, & uses multi-coated lens elements that minimize ghosts & flare to further enhance its optical performance. The optimally designed lens hood enables use even under strong sunlight.
