A fast and optically refined wide-angle prime, the Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 12mm f/1.4 ASPH is 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's design legacy with Panasonic's technological innovation, this versatile wide-angle prime is distinguished by both its optical merits as well as intuitive handling and contemporary functionality.
The 12 mm wide-angle lens (equivalent to 24 mm KB) is ideal for street photography and landscape shots to give the picture a dynamic expression or to change perspective. The extreme light intensity F1.4 enables use even in difficult lighting conditions. In addition, the lens consists of a high-quality metal tube and a robust, durable metal bayonet and a metal lens hood. Thanks to its dust and splash water protection, the H-X012 delivers exceptional robustness, making it the ideal companion.
If you want top quality, you choose LEICA. With their aspherical lenses and the special, multi-coated surface, the lenses meet the high standards of the traditional LEICA Camera AG.
Brave the elements in almost any weather and shooting situation. This lens is water and dust resistant*, built to withstand the toughest outdoor conditions. The lens system inside is protected from sand, rain and other influences, making it ideal for recording in adverse conditions. Together with a dust and splash-proof LUMIX G camera, nothing stands between you and the creative shots you desire.
Many LUMIX G lenses are optimized for video recording. In addition to the problem-free changing of the aperture setting without sudden changes in exposure, the silent zooming and silent focusing for optimal audio recordings is particularly impressive.
