The rumors have been around, and they seem true! The new Panasonic Lumix S 85mm f1. 8 is real. With 9 aperture blades and tons of weather sealing, it's also a modest size. It boasts only a 67mm filter thread.
And best of all, it's almost half the weight of the Sigma 85mm f1. 4 DG DN Art. According to our research, weighing 355 grams compared to Sigma's 630 grams, the Panasonic 85mm f1. 8 is around the weight of a Campbell's can of tomato soup. It's also around two times the weight of a billiard ball. Sigma's lens is otherwise around one and a half times as heavy as a soccer ball. It's also lighter than Sony's 85mm f1. 8, which is 371 grams according to Adorama! If it's anything like Panasonic's 50mm f1. 4 Lumix Pro lens, then we're very excited. . thephoblographer.com
