Camera Labs has tested and reviewed the Leica D 14-50mm Lens and writes, “In its favour, the Leica lens has superior build quality, a brighter aperture, excellent optical performance (especially at longer focal lengths), and when fitted on a Panasonic L1 / Leica Digilux 3, it supports an additional, slightly more effective stabilization mode, not to mention a traditional aperture ring. You also get to see the effect of the stabilization through the optical viewfinder, which is something you don’t get with a sensor-shift system.”
