The Lumix S 50mm F1.8 is a classic standard fixed focal length and the ideal all-round lens for travelling, portraits or everyday use. It impresses with its high imaging performance and its 9-blade circular aperture ensures a particularly attractive bokeh. The lens also offers outstanding mobility thanks to its compact size and low weight. It is also characterised by a dust- and splash-resistant design and can be used in the most adverse conditions down to -10° C. As part of the F1.8 lens series, it has the same size and position of controls and the same 67mm filter diameter for intuitive and consistent handling. Finally, it also ensures high-quality videos by suppressing focus breathing.

The 1.8/50 shows similar results at open aperture as the 1.8/35 from Panasonic: the centre of the image fits, but the contrast should be higher at the edges. Stopping down at the second and third measured apertures 3.5 and 5.6 raises the measured values for the centre of the image moderately...
... The more expensive pro lens, costing around 1,960 euros, differs above all in its extremely high resolution from open aperture f/1.4. Due to the high price difference, our recommendation to all L-mount hobbyists is the Panasonic Lumix S 50mm F1.8.
