Subtle angles for beautiful shots
The LUMIX S F1.8 Series 50mm lens is designed for superior mobility and beautiful bokeh. It helps you capture unique landscapes and facial expressions. When it’s combined with a LUMIX S series camera, the focus ring control setting can be finely set and focus adjusted to feel just right, so it’s also ideal for video creation.
Compact, lightweight design
With its compact, approximately 300g of light weight, the LUMIX S 50mm F1.8 features stunning mobility. The rugged dust/splash-resistant* design withstands use under harsh conditions even at 10 degrees below zero for high mobility. The filter diameter is 67mm, with a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm.
* Dust and Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
High image quality with optimal lens design
The LUMIX S 50mm F1.8 is comprised of nine lens elements in eight groups including three aspherical lenses, one ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lens and one UHR (Ultra-High Refractive Index) lens. The use of three aspherical lenses realizes both high descriptive performance and beautiful bokeh, which are common advantages to the series of all F1.8 lenses. The ED lens effectively suppresses chromatic aberration.
High descriptive performance in both photo shooting and video recording
The LUMIX S 50mm F1.8 also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, which was a fatal problem of all interchangeable lenses designed for still image photography. Together with a micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure change, professional quality video can be recorded.
Highly practical LUMIX S Series F1.8 lenses
The LUMIX S 50mm F1.8 is the second addition to the series of four F1.8 large-aperture lenses based on the L-Mount system standard. A total of four F1.8 lenses from the LUMIX S Series feature a common size and position of control parts to provide practical advantages in use. For example, when the camera is on a gimbal, it is easy to exchange lenses quickly with minimum adjustment of connected gears. Common filters can also be used thanks to the same diameter.
