Sigma 50mm f2 Contemporary

I have the 65mm too. A great lens, but heavy and big for this FL.

The 45/2.8 is also not the sweet spot for me. Not enough sharp for my taste for an all around lens (although I like 45mm FL very much).

So my hope is now this Sigma 50/2.0 DG DN. According to the reviews it is somewhere in the middle optically between the Sigma 65mm and Sigma 45mm (very close to the 65mm), which is exactly what I am looking for.

But I have to have it in my hands and see how it will balance on my Lumix S5II
Interesting, its lovely on my A7R4 - I didn't think (IIRC) there was much size/weight difference between the new 50 & 65?
 
Yea I think they are very closely matched on weight

350g vs 410g and 58mm filter size vs. 62mm. I hope that the combination of 60g lighter and smaller filter size will make enough difference for me, that I will use the 50/2.0 more often than the 65. But as long as I can not try it out yet, it is just a hope... :teufel-grinsend-schwanz:
