Panasonic 50mm f/1.4 attacco L

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.

I had not used a 50mm lens since I first started. These particular prime lenses were very tainted to me because they have always been soft in just about all brands. Sigma changed that with their 50mm Art but this LUMIX lens is on another level even from that. Its just razor sharp but yet with super soft fall off. Its an expensive lens but if you value this level of quality you will want to have it in your collection. The build quality is outstanding.

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. My only critique is that it's a bit large, but if that's what they must do to make this beauty what it is, then so be it. It's awesome.

Rented this lens for a few weeks for a few shoots and, wow, this lens is sharp. Super sharp. It's heavy and big for a 50mm f1.4, but Panasonic was definitely going for superior sharpness with this lens - and they delivered. Incredible image quality.

I rented this lens for a wedding, I used it mostly for video with the DS1. By far the best lens Ive ever used, I shot a lot on 1.4 and my subjects were still incredibly sharp with silky smooth background. The worst thing about this lens is that it makes all my other pictures and video look like garbage (as they were shot with different lenses). This lens sets a new standard in quality. Now Im saving up! Very happy with its performance - coupled with the DS1 is a match made in heaven!
