Introduction

Panasonic has just announced the ‘Leica Summilux 9mm F1.7 APSH,’ its latest prime lens for Micro Four Thirds, and a further sign (if the release of the GH6 weren’t enough) that it’s committed to more than just its full-frame lineup.

The 9mm, offers a fast, light and compact ultra-wide angle option for Micro Four Thirds users, equivalent to an 18mm F3.4 on full-frame (when compared at the whole-image level). It’s a lens that some stills photographers will love, but it arguably has even more appeal to video shooters. We’re going to take a quick look at what it offers.
