Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Summilux 25-50mm f/1.7 ASPH. Lens
The Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Summilux 25-50mm f/1.7 ASPH. is a groundbreaking telephoto zoom designed for the Micro Four Thirds system. Providing a 50-100mm equivalent focal range, this lens is a “prime-killer,” offering the flexibility of a zoom with the incredible light-gathering capabilities of a constant f/1.7 aperture. It is the perfect choice for professional portraiture, fashion, and event photography, delivering the legendary optical rendering associated with the Leica name.

Unrivaled Optical Performance
Constant f/1.7 Aperture: This impressively bright maximum aperture remains consistent throughout the entire zoom range, excelling in low-light environments and providing shallow depth-of-field control typically reserved for high-end prime lenses.

Advanced Leica Optics: The optical construction features one aspherical element, three extra-low dispersion (ED) elements, and one ultra high-refractive index (UHR) element. This combination virtually eliminates color fringing and aberrations for tack-sharp imagery.

Unified Rendering: Specifically designed to match the Leica 10-25mm f/1.7, this lens shares the same color rendering, weight, and 77mm filter thread, allowing for seamless lens swaps during professional video or photo shoots.

Optimized for Video & Stills
Silent Linear AF Motor: The internal focusing system provides lightning-fast, near-silent autofocus. Critically for videographers, the lens exhibits virtually zero focus breathing, ensuring your frame stays stable during focus pulls.

De-Clicked Aperture Ring: The physical aperture ring features a stepless, silent design, allowing for smooth iris transitions during video recording.

Focus Clutch Mechanism: Instantly switch between auto and manual focus by simply sliding the focus ring. When used with select Lumix bodies, you can further customize the rotation sensitivity of the focus ring.

Professional Build Quality
Weather-Sealed Construction: The lens features a rugged splash, dust, and freezeproof design, allowing you to continue shooting with confidence in challenging outdoor conditions or inclement weather.

9-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: Produces an exceptionally smooth and circular bokeh, adding a sophisticated, creamy aesthetic to your out-of-focus backgrounds.

Included Accessory: This lens comes complete with the original lens hood to prevent flare and provide front-element protection.
