Creative tool for Micro Four Thirds users

The Panasonic Lumix G Fisheye 8mm f/3.5 lens is built for Micro Four Thirds cameras. It suits photographers and videographers who want a 180-degree diagonal angle of view for distinctive perspective and deformation effects. The 8 mm focal length and f/3.5 maximum aperture support creative work from television to web video.

Compact build with inner focus

Ten elements in nine groups keep the lens small and light at 0.28 weight units. An Extra-low Dispersion element helps maintain consistent performance across the focus range. The inner focus system allows a minimum focusing distance of .1 m without extending the barrel, while seven rounded aperture blades produce smooth out-of-focus areas at larger apertures.

Fixed focal length and aperture limits

The 8 mm focal length is fixed, so framing changes require moving the camera. Aperture stops down to f/16 for depth-of-field control. Autofocus works on compatible Micro Four Thirds bodies, but the lens lacks zoom and has no wider maximum aperture than f/3.5. Buyers needing variable focal lengths or faster low-light performance should consider other optics.

Questions about this item

What does the Micro Four Thirds mount mean for the 8 mm focal length?

The Micro Four Thirds mount gives an 8 mm focal length a 180-degree diagonal angle of view, producing a full circular fisheye effect on this format.

What are the physical requirements for mounting this lens on a Micro Four Thirds body?

The lens uses the standard Micro Four Thirds bayonet and weighs 0.28 kg, so any Micro Four Thirds camera body accepts it without adapters or special support.

How is the lens focused and what step do users often miss?

The lens uses an inner autofocus system; the step users miss is switching the camera to its closest focus setting to reach the 0.1 m minimum focusing distance.
