The Panasonic Leica D Summilux Asph 25mm F1.4 is an interchangeable camera lens announced by Panasonic on March 7, 2007.

Design

The lens uses 10 elements in 9 groups, arranged as a double Gauss type, with one aspherical, three extra-low dispersion (ED), and one super ED element. It was announced in March 2007, with availability starting that April.[1]

Reception

As reviewed in 2010, the lens exhibited little distortion and offered close to maximum resolution wide-open, improving slightly at .[2] Resolution on the frame's edge was weaker, though, due to chromatic aberration and visible coma at maximum aperture.[3]
