Amazing lens. Sharp across the entire frame, very fast, and fits in perfectly with the rest of the Panasonic f1.8 set. They have truly done something special with this lens series and can't wait to try it on their new S5 II camera (and any future S series iterations).

I'm currently using this on my Panasonic S5 and have been very impressed with the versatility of this lens. I work full-time shooting corporate videos/photos and plan to use this as a primary lens for interviews and detail shots (and occasionally for portraiture). Even though it doesn't have Panasonic's Pro label, everything about this lens is more than suitable for professional applications -- the quality of the image is tack sharp, AF is great, doesn't weigh much (but not in the way that feels cheap), great form factor, and good price. I'm looking forward to their future release of both the 35mm & 24mm lenses in this series as Panasonic has really outdone themselves with this one!

I was not excited to spend money on another 24mm lens since I have that covered 3 times already with Lumix brand zoom lenses. I ended up testing now all 4 lenses at 24mm along with the Leica f1.7 Summilux 28mm to assess the value of this purchase. Regardless of f stop, this lens was sharper than any of Panasonic zooms with the 24-70mm f2.8 closest in quality. The Leica, as expected was a hair sharper. Image rendering of the new 24mm was very close to the Leica overall feel with a hair post tweek. Out of focus areas were superior to zooms but not exactly Leica. 3 dimensional depth was much better than the zooms but again not quite Leica. Now the real area I appreciated was the mid highlight rendering which really sparkled compared to the Zooms and closely matched ... MoreI was not excited to spend money on another 24mm lens since I have that covered 3 times already with Lumix brand zoom lenses.

Overall the lens handles great and does not disappoint in any area especially for the money. Having a lens that functions below freezing was one of my prime reasons for going with Lumix system. I am very happy with results and can easily justify the expense since this lens shoots so well at minimum focus. No real aberrations , a little fringing that immediate clears in post. The wide open sharpness and contrast is simply icing of the cake.

Well built, solid optics and perfectly balanced on the S5II. For a F1.8, it's very sharp and color reproduction is great. For video this lens is so good, with quiet AF and the bokeh is very pleasing. Very pleased with this lens. Highly recommend as one of the first lenses to get when getting into the L-mount system.
I bought this lens to have a relatively fast 50mm and affordable lens for my SL2. I would add that this lens is also light weight and balance well on my SL2.Wide open at f1.8 images are a little soft including in the center. Stopped down just a taste, to f2, and the center sharpens up nicely.While this lens does provide ample Bokeh, small areas such as leaves, can appear busy and choppy when viewed on-screen at 100%.Otherwise this lens, for the money, performs well. I would recommend this lens to someone using an SL2 (and probably an original SL).
So far lens is excellent... using on my Panasonic s5ii... pictures are sharp as well as the videos... 50mm is generally what the human eye sees and this lens does not disappoint it focuses very quickly, lightweight and weather sealed. Really like that all the L mount lenses use 67mm filters
I have this lens on my s5. I'm no pixel peeper, but I think it would be hard to find something wrong with this lens. I like the weight, length, and feel and that it has the same size filter thread as the 50 and 85mm primes. Can't wait for the 35mm to be available. There is nothing wrong with these prime lenses that I can detect. Fault them if you must for not having OIS, but my Lumix cameras all have great IBIS.
Second time I purchased open-box from Best Buy. Will NEVER do it again. Bought "excellent" which means all parts should've been included, but this arrived with ONLY the lens. No caps, no hood. There are a lot of products for Best Buy returns to keep track of, but it takes 2 minutes for them to confirm what parts are supposed to be in the box (hint, it's printed right on the first page of the manual).
Image quality is good. I like that it is sharp wide open, no need to stop down to improve IQ. Very lightweight, thanks to the cheap plastic build (will it last as long as my metal lenses? Time will tell).VERY tight fit when screwing on/off the camera, much tighter than my 85mm or 20-60 lenses. Makes me nervous that I will damage the weather sealing ring, but it seems fine so far.I bought this lens hoping it would have improved autofocus performance over my other 2 L mount lenses, but no, its just as slow to focus as all the others.That being said, its a nifty 50 with good image quality for a decent price, so Ill keep it for now. Will probably trade it for the 24 or 35mm whenever they are released.
This lens has definitely surpassed my expectations. We are a production house that has several S1, S1H, and S5s on gimbals in the field every day. I'm aware of the obvious advantages of native glass, but I did not expect this lens to outperform our adapted Canon 50mm 1.2 lenses; however, it does, by a significant margin. The autofocus performance is noticeably better than the 85mm and 20-60mm, both of which are surprisingly good. This lens is a no-brainer for video work... We don't do a lot of stills work, so I'll defer to others more knowledgeable than I on that front. In short, I'm not ready to offload my Canon glass yet... but this lens gets me one giant step closer. I will update my review once this lens has endured the rigors of being in the field for a more ... MoreThis lens has definitely surpassed my expectations.
