Product details

With the Leica DG Summilux 1:1.4/12mm Asph. (24mm equivalent), Panasonic presents a bright wide-angle lens for Micro Four Thirds. As a 24mm wide-angle lens, it is ideal for landscape photography and classic street photography. The aperture of 1:1.4 allows for use in challenging lighting conditions, making it appealing to both photographers and filmmakers. The aperture can be easily adjusted with a single motion using the aperture ring on the lens. Additionally, this dust- and splash-proof Micro Four Thirds lens offers exceptional robustness, making it the perfect companion for the Lumix GH5, G9, or GX9. Those who seek top quality choose Leica. With its aspherical lenses and special multi-coated surface, the lenses meet the high standards of the renowned Leica Camera AG. Thanks to the sophisticated technology embedded in these lenses, your photos will be sharp even at the edges. At the same time, common distortions often found in wide-angle shots are avoided, allowing images to be reproduced accurately and in detail. These are optimal conditions for first-class images without reflections and light loss.

Auch das 1350 Euro teure Leica-Objektiv zeigt offen am Rand Schwächen. In der Bildmitte ist die Auflösung jedoch schon bei Blende 1,4 sehr hoch und der Kontrast gut bis sehr gut. Blende3,5 bringt in der Bildmitte 100 Linienpaare mehr und ein Plus beim Kontrast. Am relativen Randabfall des Kontrasts ändert sich aber zu wenig...
