Overview

The Leica D Summilux 25mm f/1.4 Asph is a fast standard prime for Micro Four Thirds, offering excellent sharpness even wide open and pleasing bokeh. Its autofocus is quick and accurate, though a 'rattlesnake' noise can occur when changing apertures. Build quality is good with a metal mount, but it lacks weather sealing and feels somewhat plasticky. The lens is not pocketable on smaller bodies. It suits photographers needing a fast, versatile normal lens for people-centric genres like street, reportage, and portraits.
