Panasonic LUMIX H-X015E9-K | LEICA DG SUMMILUX 15mm / F1.7 ASPH. - Black

The LEICA DG SUMMILUX 15mm / F1.7 ASPH. allows photographers to capture supreme snapshots with beautiful defocus features produced by F1.7 high speed. Certified with the name of world-renowned LEICA, the exceptional high image quality is guaranteed.

This lens system comprising of 9 elements in 7 groups uses 3 aspherical lenses. The aspherical lenses suppress spherical aberration and distortion effectively while realizing downsizing of the lens unit. Panasonic's Nano Surface Coating technology is adopted to minimize the reflection at entire visual light range (380nm-780nm) by applying the extra-low refractive index coating with nano-sized structure on the surface of the lens. It results in the super clear picture with dramatic reduction of ghost and flare.

The LEICA DG SUMMILUX 15mm / F1.7 ASPH. features a compactness and light weight despite high optical performance. The versatile 15mm of focal distance (35mm camera equivalent: 30mm) is suitable for wide variety of occasions from daily snapshots including sceneries like sunsets and dimly lit indoor shots to the deliberately creative shots taking advantage of its beautiful soft focus.

The LEICA DG SUMMILUX 15mm / F1.7 ASPH. comes equipped with aperture ring and AF/MF switch for direct, intuitive operation. The sophisticated metal design, including the hood, deserves to bear the prestigious LEICA name. Highly reliable metal mount is durable enough for repeated exchange of lens.

This lens incorporates superior inner focus system, which enables excellent resolution and contrast from close-up to infinity. The inclusion of newly developed stepping motor makes the focusing action smooth and silent for use in both photo and video recording. Notably the performance of AF is by far superior to the phase-difference AF when fast lens with smaller F value is used. It is also compatible with the sensor drive at max. 240 fps to take maximum advantage of cameras with high-speed AF when mounted on the cameras of LUMIX G.
