Great Lens for Micro 4/3!

This is a great lens for Micro 4/3. Very sharp throughout the image and minimal chromatic aberration. This lens is roughly the same focal length that you see on smartphone cameras - so as a beginner photographer it has challenged me to be more creative with my shots to stand out from phone photos, eg. getting more foreground elements, making the depth of field more apparent, better composition etc. I?ve been using this for street photography when traveling and loving it!

Solid Performer

Just a little wider than a FF 35mm field if view. A very sharp all around lens.

VERY NICE LENS

Panasonic's marriage of Lumix lenses with Leica lens magic has yielded some fantastic lenses. I have several. Love them! This one, though not used often, delivers very high quality. Clear, sharp, minimal distortion, not too contrasty. I shoot video and really strive for that more "cinematic" look (as opposed to that "video" look). The Lumix/Leica lenses really help in that regard.

Great Lens! Bad Packing During Shipping!

Lens is Outstanding, fit perfect for all day carry on my GX-8! Reminded me of my Dad's Leica MP-4! Great focal length not to wide and not to cropped. Golden Rule for packaging! NEVER PACK LIQUIDS with camera equipment!!! The lens cleaning kit had some spray bottle solution that leaked ALL over everything, but the lens was on top so it was pretty safe a little liquid damage to the Lumix box but nothing got to the lens thank goodness!

Excellent Mid-Wide Prime

I bought the Panasonic Lumix G Leica DG Summilux 15mm f/1.7 for use with my Olympus OM-D camera bodies. I previously owned and used the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f/1.8, but now only own the Panasonic 15mm. I replaced the Olympus 17mm because it had noticeably lower resolution than the 12, 25, 45, and 75mm Olympus prime lenses. I am very satisfied with this 15mm Panasonic prime. It has comparable resolution to the best Olympus prime lenses and works well with the OM-D bodies (focuses quickly and accurately). The Panasonic build quality is excellent too. The field of view is noticeably wider with the 15mm, even though numerically the difference is small (2mm). The only unique thing I discovered was that I cannot store the hood reversed on the lens, so I just store the hood attached to it. I would highly recommend this lens to Olympus camera users.

Lumix Leica lenses

I love how crisp and clean the Lumix Leica lenses are. I added this one for people photography after using the 25mm for several years. This light, small lens packs a lot of sharpness.

a great complement to my Rokinon f2 12 mm, and is even a bit sharper; auto focuses fairly well in dim church interiors on Olympus em10

My new favorite lens

I purchased my GX1 with the famous 20/1.7 and saw little reason to replace it as my go to lens for everyday shooting. Over the years, I've accumulated the Leica 45, the 7-14, the obnoxious 100-300, the Leica 25 and now the 15, all manufactured by Panasonic. The Leicas, including this one is of substantial quality in weight and feel. Image quality is what you'd expect as well from one that Leica puts its name on - enough said. There are a few things I do enjoy on this lens that leaves me wanting on my existing and newer lenses and it's something that's a throwback to old but the standout includes 1/3 stop detents for the aperture ring.

Just imagine capturing stunning, high-quality images with the Lumix G Leica DG Summilux 15mm f/1.7 Aspherical Lens from Panasonic. This lens, equivalent to a 30mm wide-angle lens, is specifically designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras, making it a perfect choice for professional photographers and enthusiasts alike.

Its bright f/1.7 maximum aperture is a standout feature, providing exceptional performance in low-light conditions. This feature also offers greater control over the focus position, allowing for shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques, perfect for capturing those artistic shots with precision and ease.

The lens also boasts an intuitive manual aperture ring, giving photographers the flexibility to control the aperture selection according to their needs. This lens is not just about control, but also about performance. It features an internal focusing system with a stepping AF motor, ensuring fast, quiet, and smooth performance, ideal for those who value discretion and efficiency in their shooting.

The optical design of the Lumix G Leica DG Summilux 15mm f/1.7 Aspherical Lens is nothing short of impressive. It incorporates three aspherical elements to minimize distortion and spherical aberration, resulting in sharper imagery with greater overall clarity.

To top it all off, a Nano Surface Coating has been applied to the lens elements. This innovative feature suppresses lens flare and ghosting, leading to more contrast-rich, color-neutral photos and movies. This lens is not just a tool, but a gateway to capturing your world with unparalleled clarity and quality.

Panasonic 15mm f/1.7 Features

  • Allows photographers to capture supreme daily life pictures with beautiful bokeh.
  • Comprising of 9 elements in 7 groups uses 3 aspherical lenses. The aspherical lenses suppress spherical aberration and distortion effectively while enabling the lens unit to be made smaller.
  • Panasonic's Nano Surface Coating technology is adopted to minimize the reflection at entire visual light range (380nm-780nm) resulting in the super clear picture quality by avoiding ghost and flare.
  • The lens incorporates a superior inner focus system, which enables excellent resolution and contrast from close-up to infinity. The inclusion of a newly developed stepping motor makes the focusing action smooth, silent and quicker for use in both photo and video recording.
  • Notably the performance of AF is by far superior to the phase-difference AF when fast lenses with a smaller F value are used. It is also compatible with the sensor drive at max.240 fps to take maximum advantage of the high-speed AF of LUMIX G cameras.
