Do Pansonic lenses work on original SL ?

Just thinking of getting the 50mm and 35mm 1.8, wondering whether they work OK

 

Thanks

If you are referring to these Panasonic 'S' L mount lenses they are compatible with the SL601 

Wide-angle Fixed Focal Length
LUMIX S 24mm F1.8 (S-S24)
LUMIX S 35mm F1.8 (S-S35)

Standard Fixed Focal Length
LUMIX S PRO 50mm F1.4  ( S-X50 )
LUMIX S 50mm F1.8 (S-S50)

 

Sigma L mount lenses are also compatible ... I use both Sigma and Panasonic 'L' mount lenses (and Leica L / TL optics) on my SL601, Leica T and Panasonic S1R

my girlfriend is using a Pana 85 1.8 on her SL 601, works great.

Hi Colonel,

don‘t hesitate !

for the SL system  50mm,  you have only 5 possibilities with autofocus.

Lux SL 50mm, crazy big but great

summicron SL 50mm very good but very expensive 

Lumix 50 1,4 too big too

lumix 50 1,8 not a summicron but 400€ 

TL Summilux 35mm a very nice choice but only 10mpX

i use the Lumix 50/1,8 with the sl601 and it works great. 
i love the rendering. Neutral. 

it’s a very good option for me as 
I already have the vario 24-90mm and didn’t wanted to invest in an very expensive SL 50mm summicron for an occasional use.
