Panasonic-Leica 25mm f/1.4 AKA L-X025
Not really new product, released along with Panas L10 or maybe even L1
In Moscow stock by at least two sellers
I purchased it just month ago for 33’000RUR (that’s some more than 1’000USD) with firmware v.2.1 already installed
It’s really nice! Clear and sharp
I use it with my Panas G1 via native DMW-MA1 adaptor. All features OK, though focusing clearly audible.
And 1/1.4 is really light, epecially when you used to use G1 dark kit: It takes a good picture with any lights enough for easy book reading. It also easily autofocus with any lights enough to distinguish red cat from gray one.
PS: That’s not an L-X025 on the article’s photo, That’s Panas µFT 14-140.
Note, there’s neither zoom ring, nor OIS switch on original L-X025
Why is there a picture of the 14-140 instead of the 25mm?
Ups! Wrong link. I corrected it. Many thanks!
