Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Summilux 25-50mm f/1... Overview

Versatility within a short telephoto range, the Leica DG Vario-Summilux 25-50mm f/1.7 ASPH., from Panasonic, is a 50-100mm-equivalent zoom for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. Ideal for portraiture, fashion, events, and other mid-range subjects, this lens pairs the useful focal length range with an impressively bright constant f/1.7 maximum aperture, advanced optics, and a portable form factor.

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.

Does the Panasonic DMW-TC20 2x Teleconverter work ...

Does the Panasonic DMW-TC20 2x Teleconverter work with this lens. Will it retain all the electrical communication between the body and the lens if the tele-converter is used? How many stops are lost if using this tele converter with this lens
Asked by: manuel
I'm the OP, unfortunately the Panasonic Chat options weren't working, even during the appointed hours. However Panasonic Tech support did respond to an email inquiry and here was their response; " With regards to your inquiry, the model of teleconverter is compatible with the following lenses, per our list: https://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/connect/tc.html Therefore, it will only be compatible with the Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 50-200mm f/2.8-4 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens(which model is H-ES50200 on the list). It will not be compatible with the Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Summilux 25-50mm f/1.7(which has model H-X1025) We trust this information will be useful. However, if you have any further inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind Regards, Panasonic Consumer Support"

I'd like to use this lens with a Smallrig Mini Follow Focus. What gear ring fits? Note: My preference would be something that mounts snug and semi-permanently, something that will survive storage in a bag with no rigging or fiddling on location.
Asked by: Danny
Hi Danny! We're afraid that the lens was not tested for usage with such a device, therefore we cannot ensure proper functionality. We only have information available on the lens front end, where a filter can be attached, which is approximately 77 mm in diameter. -G
