There’s nothing better than a classic 50mm lens, and Panasonic is announcing just that with its Lumix S 50mm f/1.8. This is the second lens in the f/1.8 S-series lineup, and it represents an ideal blend of weight, size, speed, and contemporary performance. This lens is designed for the L-mount, too, making it perfect for Panasonic’s own S1-series and S5 full-frame mirrorless cameras, as well as mirrorless bodies from the other L-Mount Alliance partners, Sigma and Leica.
A 50mm f/1.8 is a staple of any lens lineup, and Panasonic’s is no exception. The normal focal length pairs with the modestly bright f/1.8 aperture to realize a lens that’s perfect for portraiture and everyday shooting, and will give you good control over depth of field, as well as apt performance in difficult lighting conditions. Optically, it uses a trio of aspherical elements and one ultra-high refractive index element, which aid sharpness, reduce distortion, and benefit bokeh, and there is also one extra-low dispersion element that corrects color fringing and chromatic aberrations to ensure high clarity and color accuracy.
