I ran into the issue of HGV and drink driving convictions on a drink drive course. The guy said that he had applied to an agency but they had refused on the grounds that he had a dr10 from 7 years ago. Above: Next, let’s return to the middle of the Olympus 8-25mm image at 8mm f4 on the left and compare it against the middle of the Leica DG 10-25mm on the right at 10mm f1.7. Since that lens starts a little longer, the crop on the right shows a slightly smaller area, but looking at the sharpness of details, I’d say the Leica is looking pretty good out of the gate at f1.7. Indeed when concentrating in the middle, there’s little benefit to closing this lens down. Codes CD40 to CD70 must stay on a driving record for 11 years from the date of the conviction.

To test the optical quality of the Leica DG 10-25mm f1.7, I shot the following landscape scene at 10, 18 and 25mm using all aperture settings; for each focal length I’ve presented 100% crops from the centre and corner areas, indicated by the red rectangles. The lens exhibited some field-curvature at the short and long-ends, so I shot the scene twice at 10 and 25mm, first focusing in the centre and then in the corner for their respective results. For the 10 and 18mm results, I matched the field-of-view with the Leica DG 8-18mm for a direct comparison, while at 25mm I compared it against the Leica DG 25mm f1.4 prime lens. All images were shot in RAW using the Lumix G9 and processed with Adobe Camera RAW using zero noise reduction and sharpening settings of 50 / 0.5 / 36 / 10. First let’s look at the performance at 10mm where I’ve presented the 10-25mm in the left column and the 8-18mm in the right. Here are the areas used by the crops.

BUT, because he had applied for employment he had given them his national insurance number and driving licence details. So they put those details in and DVLA revealed all his endorsements, because as far as they were concerned it was the person himself asking. Compared to old analogue intercoms, the DG-10's digital technology can rapidly separate the crucial sound of the co-driver's voice from the distracting engine, transmission, and road surface noises in a matter of milliseconds. Above: Switching to the corner crops shows the Leica taking a lead in sharpness, albeit with greater darkening in the corners on the Leica due to vignetting at f1.7. Close the Leica to f2.8 and this darkening becomes greatly reduced and there’s also a minor boost in sharpness that by f4 has become crisper overall than the Olympus at the same aperture.

Intro

The 20-50mm equivalent range isn’t replicated anywhere else, taking you from very wide to standard coverage and making it a surprisingly versatile walk-around lens. The minimum focusing distance allows it to grab useful close-ups, but it’s the constant f1.7 focal ratio that makes it really special. The format has meant earlier f2.8 zooms just haven’t delivered the kind of shallow depth-of-field effects that many desire, but there’ll be few complaints at f1.7, which coupled with the attractive rendering and crisp results means it could easily replace a bunch of primes in your bag.
