*Closest focusing distance of 0.28m (at the wide end), 0.31m (at the telephoto end).

Dust, splash and freeze-resistant design

LEICA DG VARIO-SUMMILUX 25-50mm / F1.7 ASPH. is designed to keep shooting in the toughest conditions thanks to its dust- and splash-resistant construction and even in temperatures as low as -10 C.

*Dust and Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.

Ideal for video recording

The lens offers fast, accurate autofocus and smooth aperture changes, critical for the modern content creator, allowing you to record beautiful 4K video and stills without disturbing your subject. Compatibility with a maximum 240-fps high-speed sensor drive realizes high-speed, high-precision auto focusing. In addition to the silent operation achieved by the inner focus drive system, the stepless aperture ring and micro-step drive system in the aperture control section help the camera to smoothly catch up to brightness changes when zooming or panning. The optical design achieves exceptional barycentric stability to minimize image shifts during zooming. A focus ring is equipped for intuitive, precise focusing and linear/ non-linear setting can also be switched with this ring.
