Panasonic 15mm f/1.7 Leica Summilux DG ASPH lens review

Summary

Nutrition label

68% Informative

The Panasonic 15mm f/1.7 Leica Summilux DG ASPH is a 10-year-old Micro Four Thirds ( MFT ) lens that continues to deliver great performance alongside an equivalent focal length of 30mm .

The lens is made up of nine elements in seven groups, which includes three aspherical lenses, while the aperture comprises seven diaphragm blades.

At just 1.42 x 2.26 in / 36 x 57.5 mm with a weight of 4.06 oz / 115 g, you’ll hardly notice it attached to a camera; and for MFT cameras with a grip, it barely protrudes any further than the grip.

Panasonic 15mm f/1.7 Leica Summilux DG ASPH is a great lens for photographing the night sky.

Best performance is between f/2.8 and f/4, with the best performance at f/5.6.

Minimum focusing distance is just 7.92 in / 20 cm , which means that you can shoot even smaller subjects.

Sharpest performance is at its greatest when shooting at the maximum aperture.
