Panasonic LUMIX S S-S35 35mm

★★★★★ 4.8 (213)

Its compact 295g build and weather sealing make it a discreet, durable companion for full-frame L-mount bodies. The f/1.8 aperture combined with 3 aspherical and 3 ED elements delivers sharp, natural-looking images with smooth bokeh from a 9.5-inch minimum focus distance. This lens is best for street photographers and travel shooters who need a lightweight, all-purpose 35mm prime that won't weigh them down.
