You Need One.

This lens does not disappoint in terms of image quality, build and price. It's a great value and should be in every camera bag when getting a little closer to your subject matters and especially for lower lit environments. It delivers. Great value.

Impressive lens for a compact design

I ordered this lens with my Panasonic Lumix S5 because I believe everyone should have a 50mm in their inventory. This lens has exceeded my expectations, because not only is it sharp and takes outstanding pictures, it's small, light, compact and great for travel.

Incredible value.

This lens is amazing for the price. It produces incredible color, and is as sharp as anyone would ever need. The autofocus isn't fast but is fine for studio work. It is constructed well, feels like a pro lens and is a perfect match for the Panasonic S1 or S1R. As long as you respect this lens for its intended purpose: portraits...you can't go wrong. A truly professional, sub-$600 portrait lens...cool.

Crisp Images, lovely Bokeh

I was incredibly surprised when this lens was the same size as the 85 mm by Panasonic. They're delivering on their promise to make them the same size and weight. On top of the fact that it performs superbly well. I love this lens.

Sharp and Fast!

This is a great lens to add to your arsenal. The bokeh is better than expected and the focus is fast. Its not as good as the more expensive version but for the price difference, it truly is close enough.

Not Great, Not Terrible

Image quality is good. I like that it is sharp wide open, no need to stop down to improve IQ. Very lightweight, thanks to the cheap plastic build (will it last as long as my metal lenses? Time will tell). VERY tight fit when screwing on/off the camera, much tighter than my 85mm or 20-60 lenses. Makes me nervous that I will damage the weather sealing ring, but it seems fine so far. I bought this lens hoping it would have improved autofocus performance over my other 2 L mount lenses, but no, its just as slow to focus as all the others. That being said, its a nifty 50 with good image quality for a decent price, so Ill keep it for now. Will probably trade it for the 24 or 35mm whenever they are released.

Won't disappoint

It's pretty much exactly what you would want and expect from a classic 85mm 1.8 - It is very sharp, it has super smooth bokeh and focusing seems to be on par with other L-mount lenses. While it seems a bit large for a 1.8 its very light for its size.

Must have versatile wide angle zoom + close ups

A must have for Sigma fp. This lens is sharp with great versatility from wide angle zoom and almost macro level close-ups. Additionally, auto focus speed is greatly improved with less breathing over kit 45mm sigma lens.

Panasonic LUMIX S 50mm F1.8 Lens.

Panasonic LUMIX S 50mm F1.8 Lens.

The LUMIX S 50mm F1.8 is comprised of nine lens elements in eight groups including three aspherical lenses, one ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lens and one UHR (Ultra-High Refractive Index) lens. The use of three aspherical lenses realizes both high descriptive performance and beautiful bokeh, which are common advantages to the series of all F1.8 lenses. It is suitable for snapshots including portrait to landscape.

Brilliant Stills, Exceptional Videos.

Brilliant Stills, Exceptional Videos.

The ED lens effectively suppresses chromatic aberration. The LUMIX S 50mm F1.8 also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, which was a fatal problem of all interchangeable lenses designed for still image photography. Together with a micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure change, professional quality video can be recorded.

Compact, Sturdy, Ergonomic.

With its compact, approximately 300g of light weight, the LUMIX S 50mm F1.8 features stunning mobility. The rugged dust/splash-resistant design withstands use under harsh conditions even at 10 degrees below zero for high mobility. The filter diameter is 67 mm, with a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm.

Compact, Sturdy, Ergonomic.

Features.

  • Works With All L-Mount Full-Frame Digital Cameras: L-Mount compatibility makes this lens an essential, hard-working tool across the LUMIX S series, and beyond
  • A Perfect All-Around Lens: This F1.8 large-aperture lens provides a wide range of creative choices for portraiture, including beautiful bokeh and smooth defocus gradation
  • Excels In Video Recording: Suppressed focus breathing and smooth aperture control allow you to shoot videos with minimal re-adjustment or the rigs during your shooting
  • A Compact, Lightweight Lens: Light, portable and easy-to-carry lens lets you stay mobile all day in comfort
  • Rugged Design: Dust/splash*/freeze-resistant design withstands heavy field use under harsh conditions
