Panasonic’s new Lumix S 50mm F1.8 is a compact and lightweight prime lens for full-frame and APS-C format L-mount cameras. We’ve had a pre-production sample for a few days, and we’re pleased to report that it’s delightfully sharp, zippy and silent when it comes to autofocus, and it delivers lovely bokeh, too.
We paired it with the high-resolution Panasonic S1R to see just how capable it is. Take a look.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
