The Panasonic Lumix S PRO 50mm f1.4 is a standard prime lens designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras employing the L-mount. Originally announced in September 2018 alongside the Lumix S1 and S1R bodies, it's one of Panasonic's first three Lumix lenses for the L-mount system.

The last time we heard of a no compromise lens of any sort, it was with Zeiss–but the Panasonic 50mm f1.4 S Pro is looking to do what Zeiss did and vastly improve. For starters, Zeiss didn't give the user autofocus and those lenses didn't have weather resistance.

This lens was supposedly built as the standard with which every new L lens should be measured by.. and I truly hope that's true. The quality from the build, to the color rendition, handling, and falloff is nothing short of stunning.

The Lumix S Pro 50mm F1.4 is a very fast standard prime lens for Panasonic's new Lumix S Series 35mm full-frame mirrorless camera system.

That said, while it's not a native mirrorless lens and isn't shipping at press time, Sigma is accepting orders for an L-mount version of its 50mm F1.4 DG HSM Art, an Editors' Choice winner and priced at just $949. A Big Prime As photographers have demanded better lenses to match modern, high-resolution sensors, the size of the typical 50mm f/1.4 lens has grown. But the Lumix S Pro 50mm F1.4 is on the large side even by modern standards. It measures 5.2 by 3.5 inches (HD), supports 77mm front filters, and weighs 2.1 pounds. Compare that with the Sigma 50mm ($948.99 at Amazon) , which supports the same filter size, but is a little smaller (3.9 by...

The Panasonic Lumix S Pro 50mm F1.4 is a standard prime with few flaws, but it's is larger and priced higher than similar lenses for competing systems.
