Panasonic is Now Offering a Free Lens With Purchase of a Select LUMIX Cameras

Following up on an announcement of a different promotional offer that bundles a free ARRI LogC3 upgrade for purchases of a new LUMIX S1 II, Panasonic is back with some additional promo packages that bundle free LUMIX S lenses (either an 85mm or S 50mm) with the purchase of a new LUMIX S9, S5 II, or S5 IIX camera.

This is a pretty nice deal that can total up to around $600 in savings, as the lenses are quite capable kit lens-level options that would make for nice add-ons to any of the cameras in this deal.

Let’s take a look at this latest Panasonic promo offering and explore what it could mean for the right filmmaker or hybrid content creator looking to get a new camera and lens combo for their projects.

Panasonic Free Lens Deal

Announced on Panasonic’s website, the company is running a special deal that bundles together a free lens with the purchase of a new LUMIX camera. The combos breakdown as follows:

• Purchase a LUMIX S5 II (or S5 IIX) and receive a LUMIX S 85mm f/1.8 lens
• Purchase a LUMIX S9 and receive a LUMIX S 50mm f/1.8 lens

The retail prices for each lens are currently $599 for the 85mm (S-S85) and $498 for the 50mm (S-S50), which means these are in effect either $500 or $600 discounts on these different camera bundles. There are also additional discounts being offered for these cameras as well, dropping the prices by a bit further too.
