Review on πŸ“Έ Panasonic Lumix Leica DG Summilux Lens for G Series by Eric Fuego

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The only prime lens you'll ever need!

I have a Panasonic GF3 and was shooting with my 14mm/f2.5 and an adapted manual Canon FD 50mm/f1.4 SSC lens. Both are excellent lenses. Now this 25mm/f1.4 has been added to my lens family and I finally feel like my collection is complete. Perfect lens for indoors, just like my 50mm but no manual focus and no need to go back 7 steps to capture a face. The build quality is as solid as any other Panasonic lens and true to Leica's signature style. It's not as thin as my 14mm but definitely 3x lighter than my 50mm. Autofocus works great, albeit slower and louder than my 14mm lens; although perfectly acceptable. In manual mode, the focus ring rotates smoothly, making fine adjustments easy. There is a very nice bokeh wide open. And most importantly, the price matches this work of art! If you are looking for a prime lens for your m4/3 then this is for you :)

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • High price
