    So far lens is excellent... using on my Panasonic s5ii... pictures are sharp as well as the videos... 50mm is generally what the human eye sees and this lens does not disappoint it focuses very quickly, lightweight and weather sealed. Really like that all the L mount lenses use 67mm filters

    Great Additional Lens for my Lumix S5mkII

    This is a terrific lens for general everyday photography. I keep it mounted on my main camera for quick use. It is much lighter than my zoom lens and my variable. So, it jumped into the number one spot for everyday use. Glass quality and clarity seem great for the price. I am happy with this purchase.
