PANASONIC 25MM LEICA DG F/1.4 II ASPH - H-XA025

Panasonic LEICA DG SUMMILUX 25mm / F1.4 II ASPH.

A bright full-length lens, the Leica DG Summilux 25mm f / 1.4 II ASPH. Panasonices is a 50mm equivalent prime for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. Characterized by its fast maximum aperture f / 1.4, this lens offers remarkable control over depth of field and is also suitable for working in low light conditions. Its optical design incorporates a UHR element and a pair of aspherical elements to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion, and a nano-surface coating has also been applied to suppress lens flare and ghosting for higher contrast in the intense lighting. A progressive autofocus motor, along with an internal focus design, contributes to fast and quiet focusing performance for photography and video applications. Additionally, this lens has a dust and splash resistant construction to benefit working in inclement conditions.
The normal length prime is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and provides a focal length equivalent to 50mm.
The bright maximum aperture of f / 1.4 benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also allows extensive control over focus location for selective focus applications.
A UHR element and a pair of aspherical elements help achieve uniform illumination and sharpness for consistent performance throughout the aperture range.
A nano surface coating has been applied to individual elements to dramatically reduce lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color fidelity when working in bright lighting conditions.
The progressive AF motor, coupled with an internal focus design, provides fast, smooth, and near-silent focusing performance to benefit both the use of still images and video.
Version II of this lens features a dust and splash resistant design to accommodate use in adverse weather conditions.
The rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces smooth out-of-focus quality when working with shallow depth of field techniques.
