After yesterday’s image leak of the upcoming Panasonic Lumix S 50mm f/1.8, a couple more have been posted to Twitter by Nokishita. An announcement is expected in the next day or two, along with pre-orders. The actual release date, they say, is set for June 25th. The price is expected to be somewhere between 54,000 and 59,400 yen (~$492-542).
At around $500-550, the price is a little higher than many might have hoped for a 50mm f/1.8 lens, although it’s not completely unreasonable – especially when compared to the company’s $2,300 Lumix S 50mm f/1.4 lens. It’s also pretty comparable to Nikon’s 50mm f/1.8 for Z mount, too. It is significantly more expensive than both the Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 and the Canon RF50mm F1.8 STM.

| Filter Size | 67 mm (Front) |
