Meeting
Leica’s strict standards ensuring high optical quality, the new lens will
allow you to take stunning photos and videos wherever you are, even when
shooting in low-light conditions.
This versatile, compact lens delivers bright, sharp images suitable for a
wide range of photographic requirements. From daily snapshots while out and
about; to indoor portraits without flash in low light levels; to creative
images which take advantage of its beautiful peripheral defocus effect, the
Leica DG lens turns everyday moments into works of art.
With this Leica DG mounted, the LUMIX G Micro System is easy to carry with
you anywhere. An Ultra High Refractive (UHR) index lens makes it thin and
light without compromising image quality. While a newly developed “nano
surface coating” on the surface of the lens, means ghosting and flare will
be dramatically reduced in your photos, further emphasising the high image
quality from Panasonic’s LUMIX G Micro System.
The F1.4 aperture lets you capture the desired parts of an image in sharp
focus, while giving other parts a soft focus. This makes the subject really
stand out, adding a rich expressiveness to the photo. The lens also
incorporates an inner focus direct-drive linear motor, which enables smooth,
silent operation of its fast and accurate contrast Auto Focus (AF) system
for use in both photo and movie recording.
Despite its extremely compact size and superb optical performance, this lens
brings out the full capabilities of the 4/3-type image sensor; achieves
smoother Live View performance in combination with the camera’s body; and
allows a variety of unique features such as the contrast AF function of
LUMIX G Micro System cameras.
With the addition of this new 25mm lens, Panasonic now offers twelve lenses
ranging from 7mm to 300mm, making sure you have the right set-up for the
right job. With the LUMIX G Micro System, there really is no limit to your
creativity.
