Panasonic today introduced us to a new large-aperture ultra-wide fixed focal length lens, the LEICA DG SUMMILUX 9mm F1.7 for the LUMIX G Series, Micro Four Thirds systems
The LEICA DG SUMMILUX 9mm F1.7 is comprised of twelve lens elements in nine groups including two aspherical lenses, two ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lenses and one UHR (Ultra High Refractive Index) lens to effectively suppress both axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration.
Panasonic say this lens is capable of smooth, silent operation to work with the camera’s AF system at max.240 fps. When focusing, the lens can be set to linear mode, which adjusts focus at a fixed rate, For the non-linear setting, focus is shifted with a variable amount according to the rotation speed of the focus ring, Sensitivity can be selected from 90 to 360 degrees in 30 degree increments to enable intended focus operation.
Panasonic says the LEICA DG SUMMILUX 9mm F1.7 also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that helps reduce focus breathing, aswell as a micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure change.
Compact and lightweight at just 130 grams, short focusing distance of 0.095m with a magnification ratio of 0.25x (35mm camera equivalent: 0.5x). The front filter is 55mm and the lens is dust and splash proof.
