\nThe H-X015 Leica DG Summilux 15mm f\/1.7 ASPH offers an angle of view equivalent to 30mm on full frame, in a compact and lightweight metal body.<\/p>\n
Situated near the front of the lens is an aperture ring, and further back is an AF\/MF switch. The company has also given it Nano Surface Coatingto minimise reflections.<\/p>\n
With a system comprising nine elements in seven groups the lens utilises three aspherical lenses to suppress spherical aberration and distortion.<\/p>\n
The focusing system has been reworked with a new stepping motor that makes the action smoother, quieter and faster.<\/p>\n
Panasonic says the lens will therefore be able to take maximum advantage of the fast AF of Lumix G cameras.<\/p>\n
The Leica DG Summilux 15mm\/F1.7 ASPH will be available as part of a kit with the diminutive Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1 (named DMC-GM1L), the total price for which will be \u00a3999.99.<\/p>\n
The lens will cost \u00a3549.99, when it becomes available in early June and comes in either black or silver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
