The last time we heard of a no compromise lens of any sort, it was with Zeiss--but the Panasonic 50mm f1. 4 S Pro is looking to do what Zeiss did and vastly improve. For starters, Zeiss didn't give the user autofocus and those lenses didn't have weather resistance.

For what they charged, I was always shocked at this. With the Panasonic 50mm f1. 4 S Pro though, the company hasn't only created a massive 50mm f1. 4 lens, but they've given it autofocus capabilities, a clutch to bring it back to manual focus, an aperture ring, hard stops on the focusing ring, weather sealing, and a nice feel. Best of all, they're not doing it at the Zeiss price of well over $5,000. Instead, the Panasonic 50mm f1. 4 S Pro is going for $2,299. That's still pricey for a 50mm lens, but it's promising to be a very special one. . thephoblographer.com
