Lens","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fast and optically refined wide-angle prime, the Leica DG Summilux 12mm f\/1.4 ASPH. Lens from Panasonic is a 24mm equivalent lens designed for Micro Four Thirds digital cameras. Characterized by its truly bright f\/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens is ideal for working in low-light conditions and also affords a wealth of control over focus placement for using shallow depth of field techniques. The optical design employs a pair of aspherical elements, two ultra extra-low dispersion elements, and one extra-low dispersion element in order to control both spherical and chromatic aberrations for a high degree of sharpness and clarity from edge to edge. Benefitting the optical assets, this lens also incorporates a smooth and quiet autofocus motor that is well-suited to both stills and video recording, and a manual AF\/MF switch lends direct focus mode adjustment for more intuitive handling. Additionally, the all-metal construction of the lens is also weather-resistant in order to permit working in trying environmental conditions. Pairing Leica's design legacy with Panasonic's technological innovation, this versatile wide-angle prime is distinguished by both its optical merits as well as intuitive handling and contemporary functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for mirrorless Micro Four Thirds digital cameras, this wide-angle 12mm f\/1.4 lens provides a 24mm equivalent focal length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bright f\/1.4 maximum aperture is well-suited to working in difficult and low lighting conditions, and also affords greater control over depth of field for selective focus techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo aspherical elements are featured in the lens' design, which help to maintain a compact form factor as well as help to reduce spherical aberrations and distortions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo ultra extra-low dispersion (UED) elements and one extra-low dispersion (ED) element work to significantly minimize color fringing and chromatic aberrations for increased clarity and color fidelity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe smooth and near-silent autofocus performance complements movie recording applications while the quick operation is beneficial to still photographers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA manual aperture ring gives tactile control over exposure settings and a dedicated AF\/MF switch offers a simple, intuitive means for switching between focusing modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal construction of the lens is durable as well as splash- and dust-resistant when paired with Lumix Micro Four Thirds cameras for working in harsh environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when making shallow depth of field imagery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Panasonic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49006181679344,"sku":"LEICA12MM14_FUM","price":1055.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/2059\/6720\/files\/137752.jpg?v=1773825122","url":"https:\/\/fumfie.com\/products\/panasonic-dg-summilux-12mm-f-1-4-asph-lens-1","provider":"Fumfie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
