Panasonic has been building a small family of compact primes for its full-frame L-mount cameras, and the latest is a wide one. The Lumix S 20mm F2.5 follows the 40mm F2 released earlier this year and shares its thinking: small, light and affordable enough to leave on the camera.

## Not quite a pancake

At 142g it is a genuinely light lens, but it is a little deeper than a true pancake. Panasonic has previously described this style as a "muffin", though reviewers have suggested "cupcake" might be a better fit. Either way, it balances nicely on small bodies such as the Lumix S9, which it seems designed to partner.

## Specs

- 20mm ultra-wide focal length with an F2.5 maximum aperture
- 11 elements in 9 groups, including three aspherical and three ED elements
- minimum focus distance of 18cm and a 62mm filter thread
- dust, splash and freeze resistant, with a fluorine-coated front element
- suppressed focus breathing for video, a customisable control ring and a Fn button

## Who it suits

A 20mm lens is wide enough for sweeping landscapes, architecture and tight interiors, and it is a natural choice for vloggers filming at arm's length. At this size and weight it is also an easy travel lens.
