The LEICA DG SUMMILUX 9mm F1.7 gives Micro Four Thirds creators an 18mm-equivalent wide view in a compact lens. It is useful for interiors, broad landscapes and video where the camera sits close to the presenter. The bright F1.7 aperture gives flexibility indoors, while the short 0.095-meter minimum focusing distance allows a nearby subject to dominate a wide scene. Choose it for a clear wide-angle purpose; it will not replace a standard lens for natural-looking tight portraits. The lens has no optical stabilization, so handheld results depend on the body and technique. Its 55mm filter thread also makes it straightforward to plan a matching filter for outdoor video without buying an oversized filter system.
