Lumix S 50mm f/1.8

Name: Lumix S 50mm f/1.8
Brand: Lumix
Availability: InStock

Panasonic's most accessible full-frame prime for the Lumix S system — the S 50mm f/1.8 delivers a classic standard angle of view with excellent sharpness, a compact form factor, and a price that undercuts most L-mount rivals. Compatible with Lumix S5 II, Leica SL3, and Sigma fp cameras.

GearFrame's Take

The best-value full-frame prime for L-mount — excellent optics, weather-sealed, and very competitively priced.
