I'd be interested in hearing how well a manual 50 mm works on it.
In fact, any manual lens.
I'm thinking something like a 50/3.5 -- Leica, cheap Russian, or
the aspherical Voigtlander if could find it -- might be half of a
compact two-lens outfit when Panasonic deliver the 20/1.7
that is on their roadmap.
Manual lenses work very well indeed.
I would go for a fast 40-50mm lens, why stick with something almost as
slow as the zoom it comes with?
The one I have my eye on is the Nokton 40mm f/1.4.
... How does the M50 work on the Panny? With 12 MpixeIs on a small
sensor, does
the lens run out of resolution?
The M50/1.4 works well. It's not particularly sharp wide open, but at
f/2 - f/2.8 it is quite nice. You can see it sharpen up when you're in
MF Assist mode as you stop it down, after focusing.
