Panasonic Lumix S 24mm 1.8 In-depth (vs 20-60 / 24-105)

I thought I have a solid plan. But my plan is now completely changed after testing this Panasonic Lumix S 24mm f/1.8 lens.

24mm, 35mm, 50mm and 85mm which 1.8 lens is the one you will buy? or already bought?

Hi Richard, I'm loving my S5 with 20-60 and 50f1.8 but recently felt I needed a bit longer range for my portraits and landscape. I'm not sure if I should get the 24-105 or the 85f1.8? What's your thoughts? A sigma 100-400 is also on the cards if a good second hand one pops up and funds allow. Thanks, love the videos, great to understand with quality content!

I was wondering. This series you can use without re-balancing a gimbal.
Is it also possible to combine the 20 to 60 until 24mm in combination with the 1.8 lenses without re-balancing the gimbal? The size and weight seems to be more or less similar.
Has anyone tried this?

I am enjoying the Pana Prov50mm f1.4 wide open on my S1r much more than the S 50mm f1.8. I have the 85mm and it resolves well; but would like a Pro copy. However, if I chose to abandon my M43 system for the S5, then these primes would bd the way to go for size, wgt and ergo. Chromatic issues are there and I’m not much of a post pr’ so I appreciate in camera correction and good glass. I am disappointed at the price of the 24mm didn’t yield better performance at f1.8. Perhaps COVID pricing finally caught up with lens retail. Look to adapting Canon EF 35mm f2 IS lens. It resolves well for the S1R and AF w/o hunting.

Hello Richard you legendary person.
Wanted a quick bit if advice if you have the time as you are the one guy on the net who options I trust.
I have the 20-60mm and the 3.5 isn't letting enough light in for low light filming. But if your saying that the lense doesn't really get sharp till 2.8 I'm only really getting one more usable (with sharpness in center)stop down from 3.5 on my 20-60
Would i be better off gett the 18mm which has overall betterr center sharpness wide opene at 1.8? And l in your opion is the worping effected on the corners manageable? im not moving the camera that much generally an arc/orbit shot or slow tracking shots.
Hope you are wll and enjoy your cameras
Cheers dude

Panasonic does not meet deadlines. They announced a year ago and no lenses are available for sale. Only for YouTubers ....
What about the 35mm 1.8?
thank you for the share

I have the 20-60 and 85. I will have to wait on the 35mm. I'm gonna pass on the $900 24mm.
