futura Posted July 5, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 5, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on the panasonic 50mm 1.4 and was wondering if someone who has tried the 50mm on a SL2 might comment on how they have found the autofocus speed (compared with the 35 / 75 sl summicron). The extra stops is pretty important for me for low light shooting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Hi futura, Take a look here Panasonic 50mm 1.4 on a SL2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ropo54 Posted July 6, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 6, 2020 The autofocus on the SL 601 (1st version) seems to be quick. (Certainly the Panasonic lens autofocuses much faster than the SL 50 1.4). I cannot comment as to how it would perform on the SL2. Rob 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not tested on SL2, but on Panasonic S1R the Panasonic lens focuses much faster. Optically, they are more or less similar I would say. I actually own both lenses now and will do a proper comparison in a while. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
futura Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted July 13, 2020 The lens arrived last week, I had a chance to photograph at kids birthday party over the weekend and I would say the focus speed is comparable to my 35 / 75 SL native lenses. Will post some pictures later for anyone that might be interested in the the SL2 / Panasonic 50mm combo. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

futura Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted July 15, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) First set of samples. As mentioned I found the focus quite snappy. I also particularly like the colour rendering of the lens, the one shot inside with the lego has had little editing. The shot from outside, definitely has a nice micro contrast (although as expected with that scene, focus was not super sharp given 3 subjects / wide open), but I love the rendering.
