Bright, Large-Diameter F1.4 25mm Fixed Focal Length Lens (35mm Equivalent: 50mm)

A large total of 10 lens elements in 9 groups, including a large-diameter aspherical lens, give this bright, standard F1.4 lens a superb optical performance. A large-diameter front lens ensures sufficient peripheral light levels, and a large-diameter front aspherical lens reduces light degradation all the way to the lens periphery. The result is high resolution and absolutely minimum lens distortion.

One Super ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Lens and Three ED Lenses For Superb Color Reproduction

Four ED lenses suppress chromatic aberration, helping you capture accurate, true-to-life shots with minimum color bleeding.

Aperture Ring With A Familiar, Intuitive Touch

When the D Summilux lens is used with the LUMIX DMC-L1 or DMC-L10 digital SLRs, the user has an aperture ring as well as a focus ring at his or her fingertips. These rings provide the same kind of easy, pleasant, intuitive operation people enjoy with the familiar film camera.

Minimum Focus Distance of 14.96 Inches For Beautiful Macro Shooting

Unlike the 50mm lenses used on conventional 35mm film cameras, the D Summilux lens uses a floating focus that reduces minimum photographic distance to just 14.96 inches (38 cm). In addition to the lens's high optical performance and low aberration, maximum photographic magnification of 0.17x (35mm equivalent), which combines with the F1.4 brightness allows beautiful macro shooting.

Circular Aperture Diaphragm

Seven aperture blades give the aperture a rounded shape that combines with the F1.4 brightness to produc a beautiful smoothness in out-of-focus areas at larger aperture for smooth, soft, background defocusing.

Contrast AF System Support (Requires Firmware Update)

When mounted on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10, the lens supports the contrast AF system integrated in the camera and allows the photographer to use functions such as face detection.

Multiple Lens Coatings Minimize Ghosts And Flare

The lens system uses multi-coated lens elements that reduce ghosts and flare to an absolute minimum, helping deliver an optical performance that meets Leica's lofty standards.
