Panasonic Lumix S PRO 50mm f/1.4 Lens for L-Mount Summary
With a wide aperture and impressive results the Lumix S PRO 50mm f/1.4 Lens is one of the fastest professional primes available in the L-mount range of lenses. A 50mm prime focal width is often favoured as one of the most versatile for any system, particularly when paired with an 11-blade rounded aperture as is the case with Panasonic’s design here. This results in beautifully smooth bokeh with soft out of focus areas and adept performance when isolating the subject. For photographers and videographers image or video sharpness is second to none across the frame with high resolution rendering made possible by two aspherical and three extra low dispersion glass elements. The inclusion of a linear motor and a stepping motor provide particularly fast precise focusing performance, ideal for movings subjects especially when paired with more recent Lumix cameras. The lens continues working brilliantly in low light situations and comes with a weather sealed design for more harsh conditions.

Our Verdict
Panasonic is aiming for advanced enthusiasts and professional content creators with such a fast prime lens as this Lumix S PRO 50mm f/1.4. The lens resolves superb sharpness and detail regardless of which camera it’s mounted on, gained from a particularly high-end optical design. With a wide range of subjects falling into the remit of a 50mm prime not one, but two focus motors are included to ensure anything can be tracked and kept pin sharp with this model. Those shooting subjects such as portraits will find beautiful rounded bokeh with excellent fall-off from a sharp subject to creamy smooth backgrounds. They will also be able to work in poorly lit conditions thanks to the f/1.4 bright aperture, perfect for street photography and interior scenes.
The number of lenses in the L-mount range is fast approaching 60 models with each focal length being well represented although this is clearly aimed at high-end users who demand the very best possible results for their content. If you fall into this category the S PRO 50mm f/1.4 makes one of the more compelling choices as an all-rounder with gorgeous results.
