From the renowned brand Panasonic, we present the LUMIX S 50mm F 1.8 lens (S-S50), a large-aperture standard fixed focal length lens designed for the L-Mount system. This lens is the second addition to our series of four F 1.8 large-aperture lenses, all of which share a common size and control part positioning for seamless usability. This feature is particularly beneficial when using a gimbal, as it allows for quick lens swapping with minimal gear adjustment. The uniform diameter across the series also enables the use of common filters. The LUMIX S 50mm F 1.8 lens is meticulously crafted with nine lens elements in eight groups.
This includes three aspherical lenses, one Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) lens, and one Ultra-High Refractive Index (UHR) lens. The trio of aspherical lenses ensures high descriptive performance and beautiful bokeh, a characteristic shared across all our F 1.8 lenses. This lens is versatile, making it perfect for a range of shots from portraits to landscapes. The ED lens in the LUMIX S 50mm F 1.8 effectively curbs chromatic aberration, ensuring crisp and clear images. This lens also stands out for its superior video recording performance, thanks to a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, a common issue with interchangeable lenses designed for still photography.
Coupled with a micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure changes, this lens enables you to capture professional-quality videos. Despite its advanced features, the LUMIX S 50mm F 1.8 lens is compact and lightweight, weighing approximately 300g. Its rugged dust and splash-resistant design can withstand harsh conditions, even temperatures as low as 10 degrees below zero, making it a reliable companion for your photography adventures. The lens features a 67mm filter diameter and a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm. Panasonic and the L-Mount system alliance are dedicated to expanding the L-Mount lens lineup to cater to diverse customer needs.
