Advertisement Posted November 10, 2021 Posted November 10, 2021 Hi Simone_DF, Take a look here New Panasonic 35mm f/1,8. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
scrollt Posted November 10, 2021 Share #2 Posted November 10, 2021 Saw the video from Richard Wong yesterday, and it seems nice enough! Would be great to have beside my 50mm 1.8 and 85mm 1.8, but I'm fine for now with my Sigma The announced 18mm though, I could be in for that if it turns out to be good!

Yes, next in line on the roadmap are the 18mm 1.8 and a fast aperture wide angle (15-35 f2.8 maybe?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivar B Posted December 26, 2021 Share #6 Posted December 26, 2021 Apparently the Sigma Art 2.0/35mm is a better lens at about the same cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Sigma. Very sharp but a horrible amount of distortion and my raw converter has no lens profile yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ba Erv Posted February 4, 2022 Share #8 Posted February 4, 2022 I received my LUMIX 35mm f1.8 yesterday. It’s now officially the best 35 I own; including the 35 Lux FLE. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unprocessed except raising exposure on the Leica by 1/3 stop to equalize brightness in LR. Welcome, dear visitor!

Where is this, Albuquerque? Anyway, the second image has a narrower field-of-view, more vignetting and more separation between foreground and background. I find the bokeh a little nervous compared with the first one. Both of them look soft in the focal plane toward the edge of the frame, but I think the second one lets the focal plane drift backward a little at the edges. I also think the second is slightly sharper on the subject (not sure if you focused on her eyelashes), but they're not very big jpgs so I'm not sure. Visual impact I guess I like the second one because of the subject separation and more blur to the background, plus the nice vignetting. I'll go out on a limb and peg that as the lux, given the nervous bokeh, a wavy focal plane and plenty of vignetting. Would be interesting in dngs, and also to see if I'm wrong. Nothing like comparing lenses with a 10x price differential to put me in my place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ba Erv Posted February 4, 2022 Share #13 Posted February 4, 2022 Not ABQ. The bottom one of the two is indeed the Lux. The caveat in viewing these jpgs here is the resizing and compression. There's also a very slight shift in camera position (I sat on a tiny cactus anal probe). The dngs on my 27' IMac are much more defining. The Lumix 35 is sharper across all the apertures and shows a little different bokeh. The Lux also has a slightly warmer color. Irrespective, when a $700 lens with autofocus that weight 295 grams fairs this well against a $6000 reference standard I have to tip my hat to Panasonic. In the 200% crops the Lux is on top. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotium Posted February 5, 2022 Share #14 Posted February 5, 2022 Well at least I can recognize the 35 lux. Having said that, I sold my copy after a few years because I found the 35 distagon more to my liking (flat focal plane, smoother bokeh and no focus shift). Agree that the most striking difference is the $$$$. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR120 Posted January 31, 2024 Share #16 Posted January 31, 2024 (edited) Curious - which lens (35) did you keep? Still in love with the Lumix - did you keep the 35 distagon and Lumix? Edited January 31, 2024 by OR120 sp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still in love with the Lumix - did you keep the 35 distagon and Lumix? I'm not @gotium, but I have the Distagon 35 and Leica 35 SL non-APO. Both have their pros and cons. Distagon 35: + sharpest lens I've ever used + beautiful soft bokeh at f1.4 + f1.4 aperture + fantastic build quality + crisp and clean rendering, lots of 3D pop in the subject + video footage looks like cinema + very good T stop rating, high light transmission - no autofocus - expensive - no weather sealing - performs best on M mount cameras, slightly less so on L mount even the SL2S Leica Summicron 35 SL: + autofocus + weather sealing + decent build quality + optimized for L mount - lacks the 3D pop and rendering of the Distagon, but it still very clear and crisp - manual focus ring is smooth and well damped, but focus by wire still sucks - f2 vs f1.4 - wider and longer than the Distagon but slightly lighter in weight I use the Distagon for careful, considered photography, and the 35 SL for when I need rapid, dependable autofocus. Distagon for deliberate video projects, and 35 SL for video work where autofocus is helpful. I would not give up either lens. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
