Today, Panasonic announced its newest lens to bear the Leica name, and it's a doozy. Please give a warm Micro Four Thirds welcome to the Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 12mm f/1.4 Asph. lens! If you wanted a fast, weathersealed, ultrawide prime, Panny's delivered just that, but you need to be prepared to shell out $1,300 to own this beauty. We've had our hands on it for a day or so, and here are our first photos, taken with the Panasonic Lumix GH4 near our Cambridge, MA headquarters.
