Panasonic vs Nikon S lens size comparison
Yes I know the Nikon is a tack slower, still the new Panasonic 50mm f/1.4 lens is really BIG!

Has Panasonic fixed their not so great contrast autofocus system with the S1? Check out the video!
The new Meike 50mm f/1.7 Z-mount lens is now available for preorder at BHphoto. And Richard Wong published the world’s first review of this lens!
Panasonic announced the first two Full Frame mirrorless cameras. And they both compete perfectly against the Nikon Z6 and Nikon Z7. Here is a size comparison via Apotelyt.
Ken Rockwell posted the 24-70mm S lens. The conclusion:
The Nikon Z 24-70mm f/4 S is a compact high-performance ultra-ultra sharp lens for Nikon’s new full-frame mirrorless cameras.
It’s tiny and optically excellent, so it’s the best lens you can get for you Nikon Z now. I’d not bother with an SLR lens on the FTZ, which is going to be bigger and have lower performance. If you’re going to use a Z body, get the right lenses for it.
Dpreview published their full Nikon Z 50mm F1.8 S test:
What we like:
Good build quality, and nicely balanced on Z6/7
Excellent sharpness at all apertures
Very well-controlled coma
Minimal LoCAWhat we don’t
Large by the standards of ‘traditional’ 50mm F1.8 lenses
Costly compared to the F-mount equivalent (but a totally new design)
Not the prettiest bokeh – onion rings and ‘bullseyes’ visible at some apertures and with some subjectsConclusion
The Nikon Z 50mm F1.8 S is a powerful standard lens for the Z system, offering outstanding sharpness and full-aperture performance. There are better 50mm lenses on the market for portraiture, but none that are sharper or so well-corrected for coma and longitudinal chromatic aberration when shot wide open.
