Panasonic Lumix S 50mm f/1.8 Lens

Designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras, the Panasonic Lumix S 50mm f/1.8 is a sleek and compact standard-length prime. Its 50mm focal length is ideally suited for portraiture, landscapes, and all-purpose shooting and provides a modestly bright f/1.8 maximum aperture for shallow depth of field control. An extra-low dispersion element and an ultra-high refractive index element reduce chromatic aberration and color fringing for improved clarity and color accuracy, and the lens provides excellent sharpness as well. A linear autofocus motor suppresses focus breathing and delivers smooth, precise, and near silent focusing performance. Made for tough environmental conditions, the lens also features a dust-, moisture-, and freeze-resistant design. Prime standard-length lens designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras, however, can also be used on APS-C models where it provides a 75mm equivalent focal length. Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture offers control over depth of field and suits working in low-light conditions. Three aspherical lenses including an extra-low dispersion element and an ultra-high refractive index element reduce chromatic aberration and color fringing for improved clarity and color accuracy. Linear autofocus motor suppresses focus breathing and delivers smooth, precise, and near silent focusing performance. Benefitting professional video applications, linear focus ring control for mechanical-based follow focus systems moves the focus at a constant speed in accordance with the rotating angle of the focus ring. High resolution sharpness and performance to support 4K video. Smooth exposure changes by micro-step aperture control for video applications. Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques. Dust-, moisture-, and freeze-resistant design for increased protection from the elements.
