Normal-to-short-tele zoom is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and offers a 50-100mm equivalent focal length range.

Super bright f/1.7 constant maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions and offers impressive depth of field control throughout the zoom range.

One aspherical element, three extra-low dispersion elements, and one ultra high-refractive index element all combine to produce well-controlled imagery void of color fringing, chromatic aberrations and spherical aberrations.

Linear AF motor, and an internal focusing system, delivers quick and quiet focusing performance along with virtually no focus breathing throughout the focusing range from 11" to infinity.

Focus clutch mechanism allows for intuitive switching between AF and MF modes, simply by sliding the focusing ring, and if paired with select Lumix cameras, Focus Ring Control can be used to tune the focus rotation feeling.

Physical aperture ring has a stepless, de-clicked design for smooth, silent aperture switching to benefit video applications.

Splash, dust, and freezeproof design benefits working in inclement weather conditions.

Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.

Designed to closely match the Leica DG Vario-Summilux 10-25mm f/1.7 ASPH. lens, these two zooms are nearly identical in terms of form factor and weight, share the same 77mm filter ring diameter, and have unified color rendering for seamless switching between the two lenses.

You might regret it's price, and it's a big M43 lens. That said, you'll never regret it's IQ and operational features . For video it's a no-brainer. Combined with the 10-25, you have a killer combo. 5

Paired with the GH6, I was blown away by the color and contrast out of this lens. It reminds me of Fuji GFX 50S with adapted vintage Leica glass. This lens feels like a real Leica, but for $1800 rather than $6000! Combined with 10-25, this is the only pair of zooms that can double as photography and cine lenses. You might wonder why get this when you can get FF glass with larger equivalent aperture and less $$? Well, I've used sigma 24-70f2.8 before, it was blown out of the water by the 10-25, in terms of color, sharpness, contrast. The 10-25 and 25-50 are better than a lot of FF glass while cheaper. However I ended up return it because at 50mm there's a slight optical mis-alignment in the bokeh. I will definitely get it in the future when I visit the store in person. 5

I have been considering this lens for a long time. The release of the GH6 signaled a continuation of support for the M4/3 system. My problem with earlier panasonic zoom lenses (I own several) was the non-linear focus ring. The clutch on the focus lens of this lens means functional remote focus control along with zoom and iris control. So at last, I have an lens integrated to Panasonic electronics that I can use as a fully functional servo lens. I like the idea that a triple PDMOVIE system gives servo motor functions to any compatible lens. Meaning I pay once for lens gear motors and have servo control of any lens. I spent a great deal of time on cameras with integrated servo control a like handle controls of the lens. I look forward to the day when the GH6 sensor gets moved to the Panasonic Box camera. On that day my studio will get a long overdue upgrade. The attached photo shows a ceiling rail mount used for top down shots of what the talents hands are doing in How To productions. With total remote control of the lens and a remote Atomos recorder we have functional remote control of this rig on this mount or on a crane. 5

I owned both 10-25 and 25-50 for half year. The 25-50 has smoother zoom ring that you can do very smooth zoom in and out action. 10-25 is good but still not as smooth as 25-50. And consider it is longer focal length, it is still kept at same size and weight as 10-25 is great. And 50-100 full frame focal length is very useful. I hope full frame manufacturer can make a 50-100/135 f2.8 around 600 gram. That is very good option for people looking for something different from 70-200. Anyway it is really a good lens. but at $1800 it is a lot for m43 system. 1300-1400 is more reasonable. 5

I bought this for my GH5, but I'm really gearing up for the GH6. All I need now is the camera. It's a heavy lens, but well worth the effort to pack it around. 5

Shoot a lot of talking heads and this lens has been an upgrade. Love the heft and manual feel. Have used cinema lenses a few times but never bought any, didn't fit my needs but this thing does as it chimes so well electronically with the GH5 and 6 5

This lens is another game changer from Panasonic/Leica. The focal length of 25-50mm is perfect for general shooting to portraiture. The extremely close focusing distance can even make it double as a macro lens. At f/1.7 this lens is very fast and the shallow depth of field is great for those who need it. The bokeh is appealing to me though you may want to check the sample images to see if it appeals to you. It is extremely well built and quite large for a micro four thirds lens. It will balance better on a larger body like the G9 or GH6. I love the manual focus clutch with soft stops at each extreme. The aperture ring is a welcome feature and is click-less which is great for video. Optically, it is extremely sharp in the center at all apertures and the corners are pretty sharp as well even wide open (but not tack sharp until you stop down to f2-2.8). This lens and the Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Summilux 10-25mm f/1.7 make a perfect pair and are well matched optically. These lenses are unique to the micro four thirds system and make a compelling case for the system as a whole. This is a lens that will rarely leave my camera. 5
