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.

Great lens

I love how sharp this lens is, and at f1.8 the depth of field is amazing, amazing in low light scenarios as well. Using it with the Lumix S5iix, dope dope.

Fast and furious

The lens is light weight. Superfast focusing. Autofocusing with lumix s5 was so sweet. Loved it. Used it on a tracking a mail person shot. I didnt have to do anything. The camera took care of everything.

Best auto focus for Panasonic S1

Trying to get the best auto focus for my Panasonic S1. This lens worked the best so far.

Decent lens

I've only used it a handful of times but it seems pretty good. I have noticed it does hunt sometimes. Solid build as well.

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.

A nifty fifty

A solid little 50mm. Focus is fast and accurate. Nice contrast and sharpness. For the price, hard to beat, especially with weather sealing.

Very nice portrait lens for the price

Great lens for the L mount system. Punches way above its weight for the price. If you need a fast lens at a great price do not hesitate and get this one!

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 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 L-Mount Lens

Panasonic’s sleek and versatile LUMIX S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens captures moments in ultra-wide to short portrait-length fields of view. This L-mount lens even offers versatile focus to go with its distinct focal length range, allowing you to shoot subjects as close as 5.9 inches. Plus, the lens features 0.43x magnification for near-macro performance. It even has a rounded, nine-bladed diaphragm that produces beautiful bokeh. Aspherical, high refractive index, and low dispersion elements help this LUMIX S lens control various aberrations and produce crisper images. And if you’re using autofocus while taking stills and videos, the zoom lens has a stepping motor for quick, precise, and near-silent autofocus. Panasonic built this telephoto zoom lens for its full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras, but it will also work on APS-C models. You’ll get a 30 to 90mm equivalent focal length range when you use the lens on an APS-C camera. It features an AF/MF switch so that you can instantly switch between focusing modes, too. For fewer smudges and easier lens cleaning, Panasonic has applied a fluorine coating to the front element. You can also use this zoom lens in tough conditions as it’s weather-sealed.

Versatile Focal Length.

The LUMIX S 20-60mm F3.5-5.6 is a compact, lightweight standard zoom lens in a L-mount/full-frame format. Covering from ultra wide 20mm to standard 60mm focal length, it supports versatile shooting opportunities from landscapes to snap shots.

Versatile Focal Length.

Close Up Capability.

Wide view angle makes it easier to shoot indoors where room space is limited and minimum focusing distance of 5.9-inch (maximum magnification 0.43x) supports close-up photography.

Close Up Capability.

Video Support.

High optical performance ensures superb image quality from center to edges, while keeping the body size small. Thanks to the mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, smooth and high quality video recording is made possible.

Video Support.

Rugged Design.

The rugged dust/splash-resistant* design withstands use under harsh conditions even at 14 degrees F for high mobility. In addition, a fluorine coating on the front element protects the lens from water and oil. The filter diameter is 67 mm, with a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm.

*Dust and Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
