Wide Angle Lens

The expressiveness of a wide-angle lens lies in its ability to capture spatial expanse and depth. When you want to shoot a sweeping landscape or fi t all your friends in a photo when there isn't much room, there's nothing like a wide-angle lens. For example, the photo area of the 25mm wide-angle lens in the TZ, ZR and FX Series is about 196% that of an ordinary 35mm lens. The world's fi rst 0.3-mm super-thin aspherical lens on the ZR series fi ts a 25mm wide-angle lens and 8x optical zoom into a conveniently slim body.

The Leica DC lens inherits both its name and its outstanding quality from Leica Camera AG, maker of lenses renowned in the fi lm camera world for their superb performance and compact size. The LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR, LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT, and LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lenses are featured in LUMIX cameras. Each of these sophisticated lens systems includes several aspherical lenses to compensate for spherical aberration. And each features an advanced multi-coating process that is applied to lens surfaces to help prevent fogging caused by flare and ghosts caused by excessive light.
