Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 12mm f/1.4 Prime Lens

Panasonic teams up with legendary optics maker Leica once again to deliver this stunning Summilux 12mm f1.4 ASPH prime lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras. Boasting a super fast and optically refined wide-angle optics design, the Leica DG Summilux 12mm f/1.4 ASPH from Panasonic is a 24mm equivalent lens designed for Micro Four Thirds digital cameras. Delivering stunning images even when wide open at f/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens is perfect for those photographers and video creators working in low-light conditions and also affords plenty of control over focus placement for using shallow depth of field techniques.

Nevertheless, the optical design employs a pair of aspherical elements, 2 x ultra extra-low dispersion elements, and 1 x extra-low dispersion element in order to control both spherical and chromatic aberrations for a high degree of sharpness and clarity from edge to edge. Benefitting the optical assets, this lens also incorporates a smooth and quiet autofocus motor that is well-suited to both stills and video recording, and a manual AF/MF switch lends direct focus mode adjustment for more intuitive handling.

Additionally, the all-metal construction of the lens is also weather-resistant in order to permit working in trying environmental conditions. Pairing Leica's design legacy with Panasonic's technological innovation, this versatile wide-angle prime is distinguished by both its optical merits as well as intuitive handling and contemporary functionality.
