Panasonic DC-S5 II + Lumix S 50mm f1.8

Panasonic DC-S5 II

With its outstanding photo and video performance and an amazingly compact and robust body, the LUMIX DC-S5M2 meets the high demands of creative photo and video enthusiasts while offering exceptional value for money.

The S5M2 is based on a newly developed 24 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and an equally new image processor, which was developed as part of the L² technology partnership between LEICA and LUMIX. For the first time, the sensor in the LUMIX system supports phase detection in addition to contrast-based autofocus and combines both focusing methods to create a new hybrid phase detection AF. In addition, the new processor offers outstanding image quality and video performance with high bit rate or 6K resolution.

Panasonic Lumix S 50mm f1.8

The LUMIX S 50mm F1.8 is suitable for a wide range of subjects - from portraits to landscapes. It also ensures high-quality video recording by minimizing focus breathing as much as possible. The aperture can be adjusted in extremely small steps, making exposure changes almost infinitely variable - another feature for professional video recordings. The lens weighs only approx. 300g and is so compact that it can easily be taken to any shoot. The robust, dust and splash-proof construction also withstands use in harsh conditions, even at minus 10 degrees.

The LUMIX S 50mm F1.8 consists of nine lens elements in eight groups, including three aspherical lenses, one ED lens (Extra-Low Dispersion) and one UHR lens (Ultra-High-Refractive Index). The use of three aspherical lenses enables both high imaging performance and an attractive bokeh effect with smooth sharpness/blur transitions. The ED lens in turn effectively suppresses chromatic aberration. Finally, the nine circular aperture blades ensure a particularly round image of point light sources.
