Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 12mm f/1.4 ASPH. Lens 
A fast and optically refined wide-angle prime, the Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 12mm f/1.4 ASPH. is a 24mm-equivalent lens designed for Micro 4/3 digital cameras. Characterised by its truly bright maximum aperture of f/1.4, this lens is ideal for working in low-light conditions and also provides excellent control over focus placement for using shallow depth of field techniques. The optical design uses a pair of aspherical elements, two ultra-extra-low dispersion elements, and one extra-low dispersion element in order to control spherical and chromatic aberrations for high sharpness and clarity from edge to edge. Complementing the optical assets, this lens also incorporates a smooth and silent autofocus motor that suits both photography and video recording, and a manual AF/MF switch allows direct adjustment of the focusing mode for more intuitive handling. Additionally, the lens's all-metal construction is also weather-resistant to enable working in challenging environmental conditions. Combining Leica's design heritage with Panasonic's technological innovation, this versatile wide-angle lens excels in both its optical merits and intuitive handling and contemporary functionality.
- Designed for Micro 4/3 mirrorless digital cameras, this 12mm f/1.4 wide-angle lens offers an equivalent focal length of 24mm.
- The large maximum aperture of f/1.4 is well-suited for working in challenging and low-light conditions, and also provides greater control over depth of field for selective focusing techniques.
- Two aspherical elements are incorporated into the lens design, which help maintain a compact form and assist in reducing spherical aberrations and distortions.
- Two ultra-extra-low dispersion (UED) elements and one extra-low dispersion (ED) element help to significantly minimise colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for increased clarity and colour fidelity.
- Smooth and near-silent autofocus performance complements video recording applications whilst fast operation benefits photographers.
- A manual aperture ring offers tactile control of exposure settings and a dedicated AF/MF switch provides a simple and intuitive means of switching between focusing modes.
- The lens's metal construction is durable and splash and dust resistant when paired with Lumix Micro 4/3 cameras for working in challenging environments.
- A rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to pleasant bokeh quality when creating images with shallow depth of field.
