I was shopping for a gift and came across this 360 camera by insta360.  Its lens is made by Leica and it's a summicron f2.2 ASPH which seems to be pretty good.  I don't have the time to find out much by myself, can anyone share some experiences?  Thanks.

Sure, it's a plastic lens made by Fuji, rebadged by Leica, not "made by". 

Do you seriously think these cameras have pretty good lenses? Their target is to print on instant paper.

The only Leica things in this camera is the plasticky outer shell.

You can find the specs on the official Fuji page

The Insta360 is a 360 degree action camera. I don't have any first-hand experience, but here's a thorough review from a reasonably respectable source, even if the usual caveats apply. He did a series where he bought a cheap Arri Alexa cinema camera, which was interesting.

Keep in mind that these are used almost exclusively for "action" video. You can judge lens quality for yourself by watching the review on a 4K monitor or TV.

Doh. I read Insta and I thought about the recent Instax camera, instead of the action camera.

Not sure about this. The 1 inch sensor wide angle module of my Insta360 is labeled as Super Elmar A 1:3.2 / 14 ASPH.

The other lenses do not seem to be labeled as „Leica“ or the like.
