Panasonic Lumix S 35mm f/1.8 Lens
The LUMIX S 35mm F1.8 is comprised of eleven lens elements in nine groups, including three aspherical lenses and three ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lenses. The use of three aspherical lenses realizes both high quality performance and beautiful bokeh, which are common advantages to the series of all Lumix F1.8 lenses. The ED lenses effectively suppress chromatic aberration. It is suitable for versatile situations including landscapes and snapshots, which take advantage of the natural angle of view as well as portraits. It can also be used for close-up shots thanks to the minimum focusing distance of 0.24m. The LUMIX S 35mm F1.8 is capable of smooth, silent operation to work with the camera’s high-speed, high-precision contrast AF system with the sensor drive at max.240 fps. For the non-linear setting, focus is shifted by a variable amount according to the rotation speed of the focus ring while focus is shifted with a designated amount according to the rotational quantum of the focus ring for the linear setting. Sensitivity (the amount of focus shift per rotational quantum) can be selected from 90 to 360 degrees, by 30 degree increments, to enable intended focus operation. The LUMIX S 35mm F1.8 also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, which was a fatal problem of all interchangeable lenses designed for still image photography. Together with a micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure change, professional quality video can be recorded. With its compact size and light weight of approximately 295g, the LUMIX S 35mm F1.8 features excellent mobility to pair with the S5, LUMIX’s smallest full-frame model. The rugged dust/splash-resistant design withstands use under harsh conditions even at 10 degrees below zero. The filter diameter is 67 mm, with a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm.

Excellent lens! I shoot with this lens as my primary because it nicely bridges the gap between an ultra wide and a medium lens like my 50mm. This is great for capturing street photography or portraits. The wide open aperture is also great for night photos which are my personal favorite to shoot. I never have to worry about not getting in enough light with this lens.

50mm lens is a common lens and it reflects how humans see the world. Panasonic recent lenses are unique in a way while they have kept their build quality, lens dimension, weight and filter size are almost similar thus making it easier if decide to use a gimbal for video shooting. Quality of the above lens is very good for street photography with some creativity portrait mode on a sturdy tripod you can combine to produce sharp landscape phots. Colors out of the camera are fabulous, no need of extra post processing, you will be amazed with if you are outputting as jpgs.

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've shot Cooke glass on Red camera systems over the course of my career, and I can honestly say that this 85mm on our S1h yields comparable results. We have two of these lenses that we use almost exclusively for interviews. We consistently get tack sharp focus wide open, with excellent subject separation, color rendering, minimal distortion, and smooth bokeh. Perhaps it's more the Lumix S cameras systems, but like the 20-60mm and, to a slightly lesser degree, the 50mm 1.8, these lenses seem custom-built for video. They deliver astonishing results when used for that purpose. They don't perform quite as well for stills work as the autofocus is still subpar compared to other manufactures. (I will say it is getting markedly better with each camera update.)

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.

Now the real area I appreciated was the mid highlight rendering which really sparkled compared to the Zooms and closely matched Leica. 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).
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).
This lens is not just great for the price, it is great period. It is exceedingly sharp wide-open and has some of the most pleasing rendering I have ever seen, even when compared to Leica-Certified Lumix lenses I have owned in the past.I was worried that f1.8 would not be shallow enough for my needs, but this lens renders out of focus areas beautifully - it is always silky smooth and never busy, even when shooting in visually-dense woodland environments at a medium distance. The transitions between in-focus and out of focus areas are beautiful. I find the lens sharper than I will ever need for video AND for stills - even wide open.The auto-focus is fast and accurate, the weather sealing has already been handy on multiple occasions and the adjustable focus throw ... MoreThis lens is not just great for the price, it is great period.

I have never detected any perceivable focus breathing in real-world videography.The lens is a little large with the lens hood attached but super light weight.Now I need to save up for the 35mm and the other lenses in this lineup!
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.
