Leica DG Summilux 15mm F1.7 ASPH. overview
The Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 15mm F1.7 ASPH. is a 15mm f/1.7 prime for Micro Four Thirds cameras on Micro Four Thirds, announced by Panasonic in March 2014. 37 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light and travel. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust as well as close-ups.
No store we track in the United Kingdom has it new in stock today; used and refurbished copies start at £299.99. It launched at £549.99.
Worth comparing it with the OM System M.Zuiko Digital 17mm F1.8 II, Panasonic Lumix G 14mm F2.5 II ASPH. and OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm F2.0.
