Wide-Angle 12mm Summilux Optics
The Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 12mm f/1.4 ASPH. Lens is a fast, optically refined wide-angle prime providing a 24mm-equivalent view developed for Micro Four Thirds electronic cameras.
Characterized by the unit's truly high-luminance f/1.4 highest aperture, this lens is excellent for working in low-light situations and additionally affords a wealth of control over concentrate placement for through shallow separation of field techniques.
The optical configuration employs a pair of aspherical priorities, two ultra extra-low dispersion priorities, and one extra-low dispersion component in order to control both spherical and chromatic aberrations for a elevated degree of sharpness and definition from edge to edge.
Benefitting the optical assets, this optics additionally incorporates a level and quiet autofocus motor that is appropriate to both stills and footage capture, and a manual AF/MF selector lends direct focus setting adjustment for more straightforward handling.
Additionally, the all-metal build of the lens is additionally weather-resistant in order to support working in trying environmental situations. Pairing Leica's configuration legacy with Panasonic's technological innovation, this versatile wide-angle prime is distinguished by both the unit's optical merits as well as straightforward handling and contemporary operation.

Micro Four Third: Guide — Panasonic Leica DG
Developed for mirrorless Micro Four Thirds electronic cameras, this wide-angle 12mm f/1.4 optics delivers a 24mm equivalent focal length.
The high-luminance f/1.4 maximum aperture is appropriate to working in difficult and low lighting situations, and additionally affords increased control over depth-of-field for selective focus techniques.
Two aspherical priorities are featured in the lens' configuration, which help to maintain a space-efficient form format as well as help to lower spherical aberrations and distortions.
Two ultra extra-low dispersion (UED) priorities and one extra-low dispersion (ED) component work to materially minimize colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for increased definition and colour fidelity.
