Leica 15mm reviews by CameraLabs and Tyson Robichaud.

We have two new reviews of the latest new MFT lens:

Gordon Laing from CameraLabs writes:

In my tests against the Olympus 17mm f1.8, the Summilux 15mm f1.7 delivered higher contrast images that were sharper in the corners at wide apertures, along with better-looking bokeh.

Tyson Robichaud writes:

I see this lens as a story telling lens. The type of lens that will work for a day to day, documentary lens. It’s wide enough to allow for quite a bit of your scene making for a good environmental portrait lens, and allows you to focus very closely to allow for a shallow depth of field if wanted. The relatively fast maximum aperture, combined with this wide angle of view will do me very well as a handheld, low light lens for times out and about in the darker hours.

Jurek: “Had the Panasonic LUMIX Leica DG Summilux 15mm f/1.7 for a few days. What a lovely little lens. Great color, sharp with a first class build. https://vimeo.com/99892074.”
