Lens<\/b>\u00a0from\u00a0<b>Panasonic<\/b>\u00a0is a 24mm equivalent lens designed for Micro Four Thirds digital cameras. Characterized by its truly bright f\/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens is ideal for working in low-light conditions and also affords a wealth of control over focus placement for using shallow depth of field techniques. The optical design employs a pair of aspherical elements, two ultra extra-low dispersion elements, and one 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&#8217;s design legacy with Panasonic&#8217;s technological innovation, this versatile wide-angle prime is distinguished by both its optical merits as well as intuitive handling and contemporary functionality.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3020\" src=\"https:\/\/camerasph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/camerasph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/camerasph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/camerasph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2-1-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/camerasph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/camerasph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2-1.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3022\" src=\"https:\/\/camerasph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/camerasph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/camerasph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/camerasph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4-1-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/camerasph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/camerasph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4-1.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Designed for mirrorless Micro Four Thirds digital cameras, this wide-angle 12mm f\/1.4 lens provides a 24mm equivalent focal length.<\/li>\n<li>The bright f\/1.4 maximum aperture is well-suited to working in difficult and low lighting conditions, and also affords greater control over depth of field for selective focus techniques.<\/li>\n<li>Two aspherical elements are featured in the lens&#8217; design, which help to maintain a compact form factor as well as help to reduce spherical aberrations and distortions.<\/li>\n<li>Two ultra extra-low dispersion (UED) elements and one extra-low dispersion (ED) element work to significantly minimize color fringing and chromatic aberrations for increased clarity and color fidelity.<\/li>\n<li>The smooth and near-silent autofocus performance complements movie recording applications while the quick operation is beneficial to still photographers.<\/li>\n<li>A manual aperture ring gives tactile control over exposure settings and a dedicated AF\/MF switch offers a simple, intuitive means for switching between focusing modes.<\/li>\n<li>The metal construction of the lens is durable as well as splash- and dust-resistant when paired with Lumix Micro Four Thirds cameras for working in harsh environments.<\/li>\n<li>A rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when making shallow depth of field imagery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fast and optically refined wide-angle prime, the\u00a0<b>Leica DG Summilux 12mm f\/1.4 ASPH.
