Panasonic has released a wide range of lenses for their Micro Four Thirds and Full-Frame L-Mount camera systems. Each lens uses a specific front filter diameter, and knowing the correct size is essential when purchasing ND filters, polarizers, or protective filters.
Why the Panasonic & Leica Filter Size Guide Matters
Using the wrong filter size leads to wasted money and unusable gear. Therefore, many photographers standardize on one larger filter size—such as 58 mm or 67 mm—and then use step-up rings to adapt smaller lenses.
This approach:
-
Saves money – One high-quality filter works on multiple lenses.
-
Reduces clutter – Fewer filters mean a lighter, simpler kit.
-
Improves consistency – Your images maintain the same look across different lenses.
Standard Filter Sizes for Panasonic & Leica Lenses
Panasonic uses two main naming systems for its lenses:
-
Lumix lenses – Panasonic’s own designs for Micro Four Thirds (Lumix G) and Full-Frame L-Mount (Lumix S) cameras.
