I recently added the Panasonic LUMIX S Series 50mm F1.8 L-Mount Interchangeable Lens to my photography gear, and I'm thoroughly impressed with its performance and quality.First and foremost, the image quality produced by this lens is outstanding. The 50mm focal length combined with the wide aperture of F1.8 allows for beautiful, creamy bokeh and excellent subject isolation. Whether I'm shooting portraits, street photography, or landscapes, the sharpness and clarity of the images never fail to impress.The build quality of the lens is top-notch. It feels sturdy and well-constructed, with weather-sealing that provides peace of mind when shooting in challenging conditions. The smooth focus ring and aperture control make it a joy to use, allowing for precise adjustments on the fly.One of the things I love most about this lens is its versatility. While it excels at capturing stunning portraits with gorgeous background blur, it's also capable of producing stunning results in various other shooting scenarios. From low-light situations to everyday snapshots, this lens delivers consistently excellent performance.Another highlight is the autofocus system, which is fast, accurate, and virtually silent. Whether I'm shooting stills or video, I can rely on the autofocus to track subjects smoothly and efficiently, ensuring that I never miss a crucial moment.Overall, the Panasonic LUMIX S Series 50mm F1.8 lens is a fantastic addition to any photographer's kit. It offers superb image quality, excellent build quality, and versatile performance at a very competitive price point. If you're in the market for a high-quality prime lens for your L-Mount camera, I highly recommend giving this one a try. You won't be disappointed!

The image quality of this lens is simply outstanding. The lens is quite sharp wide open, and renders out of focus backgrounds quite softly. Bokeh is quite creamy, and does not produce any harshness in your backgrounds. Other 50mm f/1.8 lenses (Save for the Nikkor S 50mm f/1.8) will produce swirly specular highlights, and will render their backgrounds in a busy manner.I would compare this lens to the Leica SL 50mm f/2 APO. Now, yes - These are not even in the same ball park in terms of micro contrast, sharpness and pop, nor will it give you a virtually undetectable lack of CA. What it will give you is smooth background rendering that no other 50mm f/1.8 can achieve. Having used the Nikkor S 50mm f/1.8 extensively, these two are quite similar in that they are the best 50mm f/1.8 lenses in existence, but the Panasonic edges it out with slightly smoother bokeh, while the Nikon has a slight advantage over the over contrast of your image.Canon and Sony's 50mm f/1.8 lenses aren't even in the same ballpark, and their affordable pricing reflects that. Though you are paying a premium for the Panasonic S 50mm f/1.8, it will certainly deliver above and beyond the $449 price you'll be paying for it. And while yes, there aren't that many options available in the L-Mount as of the posting of this review, this is the best bang for your buck, and best lens currently available.

Lens was new as far as I can tell, with all the plastic wrapping in place. Amazon packed it well - double box so it arrived safely. Lens works fine on the Leica SL2s. Amazing sharpness ... impressed. Very compact & light, and AF seems to work fine for photos for me. Did a little test for video AF, but cannot comment much now as I will need to test it out more - but the little that I did, worked fine.

The product was missing the lens hood so I am extremely dissatisfied
