    25mm · f/1.4

    Overview

    The Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 25mm f/1.4 ASPH is a fast standard prime for Micro Four Thirds, offering a 50mm equivalent field of view. Optically, it delivers excellent sharpness even wide open, with pleasing bokeh and minimal distortion or chromatic aberration. Weaknesses include a 'rattlesnake' noise when changing apertures and a larger size compared to pancake lenses. Build quality is solid with a metal mount, though it feels more Panasonic than Leica. Autofocus is fast and accurate. It suits photographers needing a versatile, fast normal lens for people-centric work like portraits, street, and reportage.
