Review: buena calidad buen lente - la calidad del lente es muy buena, el bokhe que se obtiene igual el modo manual de apertura funciona sólo cuando pongo en modo manual M y apertura A mi cámara (g95) en los demás modos no funciona el aro del lente y se controla desde la cámara Review: Old school quality. - It's too early to speak objectively about this lens, as I haven't had it long enough to use it beyond dinking around with it at home. And I hate reviews that have nothing to say based on nothing tangible. But...here goes, my own hypocricy in action. I love this lens and paid almost as much as the camera purchased at the same time and the intended user of it. This was based on the fact that my son-in-law owns the same lens, and the same camera, a Lumix GM1. Now I have both. I will refrain from commenting on the GM1, as, although I have exactly the same amount of knowledge and experience with it as the lens, which is to say, basically none, this is not a review of the camera, just the lens. More later on the camera. This lens presently finds itself on a Lumix G3. It doesn't show the same manual focusing assistance on that camera, but it probably isn't necessary. What I like about this lens is its construction, size, and feel. A lens is the other half of a camera, and although I have and have had a number of other compact cameras (Canon G9 and G10, Panasonic Lumix LX1, etc.) they have electronically controlled telescoping lens barrels and there is no interaction with those lenses other than what can be done from the camera. That is what I refer to as "remote control". I don't like remote control on some things, I like to have hands on, as in, my hands on it. I miss the days of film camera lenses (but not film, necessarily) where everything was made from machined aluminum. Even my Canon L lenses, as much as I love them, lack this feature. This lens satisfies like an old school lens, except I miss a mechanical focusing ability. It is rather focus by wire. But I have to say, that when installed on the GM1 and set on manual focus, I do like the focus peaking feature. As stated earlier, this doesn't work with all cameras (M4/3 mounts). But although this lens is focus by wire, it does exhibit a wee bit of dampening. The other big deal, in my opinion, is the manual aperture ring. Again, probably not necessary, but for us old timers, it means something, and gives us an ability to interact with the lens by actually touching and using it. Optically, I don't know, but it has Leica's name on it. I have and have had other Leica products and they are always good, if not sometimes prohibitively expensive for some. And on my M4/3 cameras, it is a 30 mm 1.7 lens. See what the closest Leica M lens is priced at, and this thing appears to be a real bargain. If it was any cheaper, they would be paying me to take it. For those small camera/point and shoot aficionados who don't get it, all I can say is, they don't get it. For those who actually like cameras more than phone cameras, I don't need to explain. There are camera people and there are non-camera people. For the camera people, this lens, and anything like it (Voigtlanders anyone?) is for them. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Panasonic | | Camera Lens Description | 9 elements in 7 groups (3 aspherical lenses) | | Compatible Mountings | Panasonic | | Focal Length Description | 15 mm | | Lens Type | Wide Angle | | Maximum Focal Length | 15 Millimeters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Panasonic - **Camera Lens Description:** 9 elements in 7 groups (3 aspherical lenses) - **Compatible Mountings:** Micro Four Thirds - **Focal Length Description:** 15 mm - **Lens Type:** Wide Angle ## Images ![Lumix H-X015K G Leica DG Summilux 15mm/F1.7 Lens (Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NOBa2iovL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I'm big into the swing dance scene. Indoors, fast action, tight-quarters, and not-great lighting. I have a Lumix G6. Good lens choice? Suggestions?** A: I love this and the other Panasonic f1.7 lenses, but for the difficult conditions you describe, you might consider a (used?) f1.4 24mm full-frame lens with a speed-boosting adapter for M43. This combination can vary from pricey to cheap. The top of the line would be $1700 for a used Canon EF 24mmf1.4L with a Metabones 0.64x adapter that preserves autofocus and other electronic functions. $400 less for a Used Sigma 24mm f/1.4 Canon EF mount. Cut another $400 for a Viltrox Canon EF auto adapter. If you are skilled at manual focusing in dim light and relying on the great depth of field of wide lenses, a quite serviceable option under $500 total would be a manual Nikon F-mount 24mm f1.4 from such as Samyang or Rokinon with a Viltrox manual speed-boosting adapter. I get good results using a Viltrox adapter and my beloved old Nikon glass with various Panasonic m43 bodies. The angle of view would not be quite as wide and the speed boost would be somewhat less with the Viltrox adapter than with the Metabones. If the angle of view isn't vital, put a 60-year-old Nikon f1.4 50mm on a Viltrox adapter for under $150. I just photographed well-behaved kids opening Xmas gifts in average room light at f1.7 and would not want to be in dimmer light with people moving faster. Doing the math, f1.4/0.71 speed boost = f1.0. f1.7 needs 1.7x1.7=2.89 times as much light as f1.0, which is a difference of 1.5 stops. The adapters work with ALL of my old Nikon glass, so my treasured 30-some-year-old 200mm f4 Micro-Nikkor Becomes a 300mm f2.8 equivalent (Crop factor 2 x 0.71 speed boost x 200mm) with the Viltrox adapter, and is a 400mmf4 equivalent with a glassless adapter, and the butterflies and other bugs don't even know I am there unless I make sudden large movements or cast a shadow on them. **Q: Is the aperture ring smooth or has steps when you turn it?** A: Steps. Clicks. It also only works with Panasonic u4/3 cameras AFAIK, the Olympus cameras don't support it. **Q: Will this lens work on a GH4?** A: I think it will work on any micro four thirds camera. I have used it on another Panasonic mirrorless camera. **Q: Will the AF/MF feature on this lens work with the Olympus OM D E-M5 II?** A: The auto focus works brilliantly. I use it on an em1. The only drawback to an Olympus camera vs a Panasonic is the manual aperture ring. It is not active on an Oly. Until Oly update firmware, the lens performs just like an Oly lens, you set aperture in the camera. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ buena calidad buen lente *by L***Z on 30 July 2021* la calidad del lente es muy buena, el bokhe que se obtiene igual el modo manual de apertura funciona sólo cuando pongo en modo manual M y apertura A mi cámara (g95) en los demás modos no funciona el aro del lente y se controla desde la cámara ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Old school quality. *by D***Y on 14 January 2015* It's too early to speak objectively about this lens, as I haven't had it long enough to use it beyond dinking around with it at home.

But it says made in China on the lens itself. Three year warranty? Forget it, one year will be enough for you. The lens was delivered with no visible flaws. We'll see how it shows itself in work. ## Frequently Bought Together - Panasonic LUMIX G Leica DG SUMMILUX Lens, 15MM, F1.7 ASPH, Professional MIRRORLESS Micro Four Thirds, H-X015K (USA Black) - Tiffen 46UVP Slim 46mm UV Protection Filter for Camera Lens, Clear Optical Glass, Impact Resistant, MADE IN USA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/137846887-lumix-h-x015k-g-leica-dg-summilux-15mm-f1-7](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/137846887-lumix-h-x015k-g-leica-dg-summilux-15mm-f1-7) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-16*
