Panasonic Lumix S Pro 50mm f/1.4 - L-Mount

The ultra-fast fixed focal length Panasonic LUMIX S PRO 50mm F1.4 Lens is a sophisticated normal-length prime for L-mount mirrorless cameras. Characterized by its fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens excels in low-light conditions and also affords improved control over depth of field for isolating subject matter.

A soft and attractive bokeh effect in the background helps turn everyday scenes into expressive and artistic shots while maintaining superior sharpness and clarity.

The optical design incorporates a pair of aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements, which reduce both spherical and chromatic aberrations for high sharpness and clarity throughout the aperture range. Complementing the optics is a unique double focus system, which utilizes both a linear motor and a stepping motor, to provide especially fast and precise focusing performance.

This lens forms the core of the LUMIX S Series of lenses. Built to highest optical standards, the lens offers outstanding expressive potential without compromise, the LUMIX S Series of lenses are ideal for the LUMIX full-frame camera system.

Rugged Design - More Creative Freedom

Brave the elements in nearly any kind of weather or shooting location. The LUMIX S PRO 50mm F1.4 lens is dust- and splash-resistant* and designed for use at temperatures as low as -10 °C, and is tough enough to withstand heavy field use. The lens system inside is protected from sand, rain and more, making it perfect for shooting under harsh conditions. Now there is nothing holding you back from capturing the creative nature or landscape shots you’ve dreamed of.

*Dust and Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.

Optical Design

13 elements in 11 groups:

  • 2 aspherical lenses
  • 3 Extra-Low Dispersion lenses
Aspherical (ASPH) lenses Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) lenses
reduce size and weight, effectively preventing spherical and distortion aberration. correct chromatic aberration rendering sharp, high-contrast images with clear colours from corner to corner.
  • Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture is well-suited for working in low-light conditions and also provides greater control over the focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques.
  • Two aspherical elements help to minimize distortions and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range in order to maintain edge-to-edge sharpness and illumination.
  • Three extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing in order to produce a high degree of clarity and color accuracy.
  • A double focus system employs both a linear motor and a stepping motor to deliver impressively fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance.
  • Manual focus clutch allows you to simply push or pull the focusing range to quickly switch between AF and MF focusing modes.
  • Splash, dust, and freezeproof design benefits working in inclement weather conditions.
  • Rounded 11-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
