Panasonic LUMIX S S-S35 35mm
This 35mm f/1.8 lens is widely praised for its sharpness, fast and quiet autofocus, and lightweight build, making it a versatile choice for both photo and video work.

However, one verified review warns of extreme distortion when used with the Ronin 4D gimbal, which may be a dealbreaker for videographers relying on straight lines.
