Overview

The Panasonic Leica 25mm F1.4 II is a compact, metal-barreled lens with weather-sealing, though some note a plastic-y feel and lack of sealing. Optically, it delivers sharp images with nice colors and flare, but suffers from significant chromatic aberration and soap bubble bokeh. Autofocus is quick, but the lens can make a rattlesnake noise. It suits street, portrait, and low-light photographers seeking a fast, portable prime.
