The Leica DG Summilux 9mm F1.7 is for use by professionals and high amateur users for both photo shooting and video recording, capable of smooth, silent operation to work with the camera’s high-speed, high-precision contrast AF system with the sensor drive at max.240 fps. For the non-linear setting, focus is shifted with a variable amount according to the rotation speed of the focus ring while focus is shifted with a designated amount according to the rotational quantum of the focus ring for the linear setting. It also excels in video recording performance, with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, together with a micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure change. Comprised of twelve lens elements in nine groups including two aspherical lenses, H-X09 has two ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lenses and one UHR (Ultra High Refractive Index) lens to effectively suppress both axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification. With its approximately 130g compact size and light weight, the Leica DG Summilux 9mm F1.7 features stunning mobility that Micro Four Thirds system boasts. The rugged dust/splash-resistant* design withstands use under harsh conditions even at 10 degrees below zero. The filter diameter is 55 mm, with a 7-blade circular aperture diaphragm. *Dust and splash resistance does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.

I bought this to replace a Venus Laowa 7.5mm because I just couldn't get sharp photos from it. The problem was no doubt my eyesight, but the Panasonic has auto-focus and that resolves the problem. I find the slightly reduced angle of view to be acceptable and the Panasonic is a slightly faster lens. When I use it, the focus ring has a very smooth action. I don't mind too much that the body is plastic - that makes the lens a bit lighter. Another point is that it is dust, splash, and freeze-resistant. All said, I am glad I moved up to the Panasonic.

This lens is the best wide lens I've ever used for the m4/3 system. It renders well and doesn't distort. In the short time I've had it, it's quickly become a favorite. The one thing I would change would be to have it made of metal. As it is, this lens is high quality and a really great addition to anyone's camera setup.

Although it is pricey, it is worth every penny. Extraordinary wide angle lens for micro 4/3 users. Light, sharp, fast, weather resistant and well made. Pairs well with my Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III body. Although it has a polycarbonate body it feels right and this type of lens construction allows for the light weight. Small and light is the hallmark of why most people use micro 4/3 and this lens is a must have for many people using the system.
