Panasonic Leica 10-25mm f/1.7 DG Vario-Summilux Roundup

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 8, 2018

Panasonic is pretty insistent that the Panasonic Leica 10-25mm f/1.7 DG Vario-Summilux is a sign of things to come for m43 and it’s health. Of course, some of the best lenses for 43 were released just before m43 overtook and killed the format so we will have to see how Panasonic’s transition into Full Frame affects m43, but some new bodies would have helped. I’m reluctantly optimistic that m43 will live on among a nitch group since the format has a lot of advantages, but Panasonic speaking with words instead of actions isn’t a good sign.
