◆ Dynamic perspective with ultra-wide angle and excellent depiction performance to the periphery Clears Leica's strict optical standards, brightness and excellent depiction performance of F1.7 aperture "SUMMILUX" We realized this. With an ultra-wide-angle focal length of 18mm, the dynamic perspective allows you to express photos and videos with a sense of realism, and it demonstrates excellent depiction performance from the center of the screen to the periphery. The lens construction uses 12 elements in 9 groups, and uses special lenses such as aspherical lenses that suppress spherical aberration and distortion, achieving high resolution performance from the center to the periphery. The large aperture and aperture value of F1.7 allows for low-light photography such as night scenes and dark interiors.

◆LUMIX's first ultra-wide-angle half-macro photography that opens up new expressions Despite its large aperture and ultra-wide angle, the shortest shooting distance is 0.095m and the maximum magnification is 0.25x (35mm equivalent: 0.5x) ) half-macro photography has been realized. This makes it possible to create bokeh effects that are difficult to obtain with ultra-wide-angle lenses.By getting closer to the subject, you can take pictures with a greatly blurred background, and by narrowing down the aperture, you can take pictures that take advantage of the details of both the subject and the background. In addition to the dynamic expressions unique to ultra-wide angles, it also delivers impressive, unprecedented close-up expressions of the subject.

◆Advanced video performance for high-quality video expression By adopting inner focus, high-speed and high-precision AF focusing is achieved. When shooting video, we suppress the breathing phenomenon in which the angle of view changes as the focus position moves during focusing, suppress changes in the angle of view when shifting the focus, and use aperture microstep control to capture images even in scenes with large brightness changes. By finely controlling the aperture value, smooth exposure changes are achieved, allowing for natural image expression. By selecting linear/non-linear switching during MF on the camera body, you can change the rotation angle of the focus ring when linear is selected, and by adjusting the amount of focus drive depending on the rotation angle, you can create an intuitive camera lens-like setting. Achieves fine focusing.

◆Achieving high-speed, high-precision focusing While increasing the advantages of 240 times per second AF control using a stepping motor and high-precision focusing using a contrast detection method, it also achieves high speed. Quickly detect contrast peaks and calculate movement direction and focus position. Furthermore, by increasing the speed of communication control between the body and lens, we have achieved both accuracy and speed.

◆ Compact and lightweight, compatible with filter attachment, and excellent mobility The compact and lightweight Micro Four Thirds lens has the mobility and a design that fits comfortably in your hand, making it easy to take out the lens for snapshots and Vlogging ( You can record video blogs. Even though it is an ultra-wide-angle lens, it is compatible with filter attachment, so you can attach a 55mm diameter filter depending on the purpose, and filter work can be done to suit the shooting intention.

◆The lens is dust-proof and splash-proof to protect it even in harsh environments*, so you can take it out for serious photography in a wide range of fields. You can capture the few sudden photo opportunities without being affected by the weather, and protect your precious lens from water droplets and dust. *When attached to a Panasonic dustproof/splashproof camera body. Although the structure is dust-proof and drip-proof, it does not completely prevent dust and water from entering.

◆Low temperature resistant design to -10 degrees Celsius Designed to withstand temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius, it is possible to take photos in cold regions such as snowy mountains and ski slopes. The beautiful and fantastical world of snow and ice can be preserved as a new work. Accessories・Lens hood・Lens cap・Lens rear cap
