The Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 9mm f/1.7 ASPH. Lens is a close-focusing wide-angle prime ideally suited for landscapes, cityscapes, and close-up scenes. Featuring a unique half-macro design, this lens offers a minimum focusing distance of just 9.5cm with an outstanding magnification ratio of 0.25x (35mm camera equivalent: 0.5x) - making it an excellent choice for photographing and filming everything from close-ups of plants and small details to street scenes and vistas.
Videographers and photographers alike will be impressed by the smooth, fast and silent autofocus performance, as well as the repeatable manual focus capability. Micro-step aperture control enables the aperture blades smooth and seamless open/close without visible steps, perfect when recording video with variable lighting conditions.
Optimized for video as well as stills, this lens provides smooth and near-silent autofocus performance to complement movie recording applications, and the lens is also compatible with smooth exposure changes while recording video.
The DG Summilux 9mm f/1.7 ASPH lens' optical design comprises twelve elements in nine groups including two aspherical lenses, two ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lenses and one UHR (Ultra High Refractive Index) lens to suppress both axial and magnification chromatic aberration. Astigmatism is also corrected with these aspherical lenses, achieving high resolving performance. Furthermore, a UHR (Ultra-High Refractive Index) lens achieves uniform image quality from the centre to the edges of the image and contributes to the lens' small size.
A rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out-of-focus quality when using selective focus techniques, and the lens also offers a weather-resistant design to protect the optics during heavy field use and harsh conditions.
The optimized configuration has 12 elements in 9 groups, including 2 ASPH, 2 ED and 1 UHR lenses to minimize aberrations and ensure superb resolution. The two aspherical elements help to maintain a compact form factor and reduce spherical aberrations and distortions. While the two extra-low dispersion elements and one ultra-high refractive index element work to minimize colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for increased colour fidelity and edge-to-edge sharpness.
Superb Close-Up Performance
With a maximum magnification of 0.5x (35mm camera equivalent), this lens allows you to get up close and personal, capturing detail the naked eye might miss, with a closest focusing distance of 9.5cm. The bokeh created by the F1.7 aperture highlights expressive details in close-ups, and the 100° diagonal angle of view captures expansive backgrounds powerfully, giving this lens an unprecedented level of versatile power.
Featuring a 9mm wide focal length, this lens is perfect for vlogging, allowing you to capture yourself in the scene while offering superb background separation for cinematic results. The lens mechanism also suppresses focus breathing when video recording.
Compatible with LUMIX G sensor drive at 240 fps
In the non-linear setting, focus is shifted with a variable amount according to the rotation speed of the focus ring; while for linear setting, focus is shifted with a designated amount according to the rotational quantum of the focus ring. Sensitivity can be selected from 90 to 360 degrees in 30-degree increments.
LEICA DG SUMMILUX 9mm / F1.7 ASPH. is designed to keep shooting in the toughest conditions thanks to its dust- and splash-resistant construction and allows you to shoot in temperatures as low as -10 °C.
・Dust- and splash-resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
