Panasonic Lumix G Fisheye 8mm f/3.5 camera lens

SKU CH-KQ9J-ZXKWD

A Micro Four Thirds fisheye lens delivering a 180-degree diagonal view with a fast f/3.5 aperture and 0.1 m close focus

  • 180-degree diagonal view creates immersive fisheye perspective
  • f/3.5 maximum aperture enables low-light shooting flexibility
  • 1 m minimum focus distance captures extreme close-ups
  • Inner focus system maintains working distance during macro shots
  • ED lens element reduces chromatic aberration across frame

Distinctive 180° perspective

The Lumix G Fisheye 8mm f/3.5 delivers a diagonal angle of view of 180 degrees, creating a unique deformation effect for both photos and movies. Its compact optical design uses ten elements in nine groups, making it the world's smallest and lightest lens of its type for the Micro Four Thirds system. An ED lens element minimises chromatic aberration and distortion from close-up to infinity.

Compact build with inner focus

The inner focus system maintains a long working distance even at the closest focusing distance of 0.1 m, so you do not need to move close to the subject for close-up shots. The Micro Four Thirds standard allows dramatic downsizing, resulting in a lightweight profile that handles easily during extended shooting sessions. Seven aperture blades produce a rounded shape for smooth out-of-focus rendering.

Fast contrast AF integration

When mounted on Lumix G Micro System cameras, the lens enables the high-speed and accurate contrast AF system for responsive focusing. This integration makes shooting more comfortable and enjoyable across both stills and video work. The bundled accessory bundle adds extra value for creators starting with this unique perspective.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the Lumix G Fisheye 8mm f/3.5 on my Micro Four Thirds camera and what step do people often miss?

Align the lens mount index with the camera body index, rotate until it clicks, then remove the rear cap; the step often missed is forgetting to take off the rear cap before shooting.

What maintenance will the Lumix G Fisheye 8mm f/3.5 need over time?

Clean the front and rear glass with a blower and microfibre cloth; the seven rounded aperture blades and inner-focus mechanism are sealed and need no user lubrication.

What limit appears first during extended video recording with the Lumix G Fisheye 8mm f/3.5?

The fixed f/3.5 aperture restricts light intake in bright scenes, so neutral-density filters become the first practical limit for sustained cinematic exposure control.
