Conclusion from Mirrorlessons:”There isn’t much more to be said: the 12mm f/1.4, like the other Pana-Leica lenses that came before it, lives up to the Leica name and reputation…

  • Premium metal build quality with weather-resistance
  • Nice external controls such as the aperture ring, focus ring and AF/MF switch
  • Excellent sharpness across the frame
  • Even the fastest aperture of f/1.4 is sharp, making it useful for low-light and astrophotography
  • Very little chromatic aberration and distortion
