Every kit needs a good 50, and the Panasonic LUMIX S 50mm f/1.8 is an easy pick for full-frame L-mount shooters. It's small, light, and happy doing just about anything: portraits, street, landscapes, or whatever you point it at on a random Tuesday.
That f/1.8 aperture gives you nice background blur and holds up when the light starts to fade. Inside, an extra-low dispersion element and an ultra-high refractive index element keep color fringing in check, so your shots come out sharp with true-to-life color.
Focusing is quick, smooth, and nearly silent thanks to the linear AF motor, and it keeps focus breathing to a minimum, which is great if you shoot video too. It's also sealed against dust, moisture, and freezing temps, so a little bad weather doesn't have to end the day. Basically, it's the lens you'll leave on your camera.
