LEICA DG Lens The ultimate in optics
With a LEICA DG lens, photographers get the ultimate in optical quality and performance. Each lens meets and exceeds the strict quality standards set by Leica Camera AG. Your assurance brilliant image clarity from center to edges with distortions suppressed to enable sharp, precise picture renderings.

Splash / Dustproof Brave the elements
Take on the elements in virtually any location or weather condition. The splash/dustproof construction* is tough enough to withstand heavy field use. And it’s designed to shield and protect the inner lens system from sand, rain and more.

*Splash/dustproof with compatible LUMIX cameras only.

4K-Enabled video capture
The LEICA DG not only performs smooth aperture changes to eliminate sudden jumps in exposure, its silent design also enhances audio capture in any scene. Whats more, stunning AF performance records extraordinary 4K video, where precise focusing is essential.

Lens construction – 15 elements in 12 groups
2 Aspherical lenses
2 Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion
1 Extra-Low Dispersion lens

Aspherical (ASPH) lenses reduce size and weight to effectively prevent spherical and distortion aberration. Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) and Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion (UED) lenses correct chromatic aberration to render sharp, high-contrast images with clear colors from corner to corner.

MTF Compensate for distortion
For lenses capable of compensating for distortion, the horizontal axis of the MTF shows the distance from the center of the corrected image.
