Leica 24-90mm f2.8-4 Vario-Elmarit-SL Asph Lens

Offering a versatile focal range, expressive aperture control and the incredible Leica image quality we've come to expect, the Leica 24-90mm f2.8-4 Vario-Elmarit-SL Asph Lens ticks every box and will not disappoint. This advanced lens features a complex lens structure that consists of 18 elements in 15 groups, including 4 aspherical elements and 11 anomalous partial dispersion elements. This structure helps to dramatically reduce the appearance of aberrations and distortions as well as offering greater sharpness and clarity throughout the focal range. Well suited to almost any light situation, thanks to the wide aperture range, this lens also features a strong and powerful 3.5-stops effective optical image stabilisation that will further increase your shooting options. The lens has a fast, precise and silent stepping motor that drives the autofocus performance, providing pin-sharp images with every shutter.

Expect Nothing Less Than Perfection

When a lens is built to the standards of the Leica 24-90mm f2.8-4 Vario-Elmarit-SL Asph Lens, you can expect nothing less than incredible image quality and performance. This lens is equipped with a highly complex and advance lens structure that is built up of 18 glass elements in 15 groups, and this includes the use of four aspherical elements and 11 anomalous partial dispersion elements. The use of these specialist glass elements effectively eliminates the appearance of chromatic aberrations and distortions throughout the zoom range. They are also what contributes to the overall sharpness and clarity that this lens can capture.

To complement this lens structure is a wide aperture range that offers a maximum aperture of f2.8 to 4 and a minimum aperture of f22. This range will cater to a huge range of shooting scenarios as well as offering greater control of depth-of-field for expressive selective focus. The design has been used to provide consistent performance throughout the entire focal range and at all focusing distances.

Enhanced Operation

In addition to the incredible lens structure and aperture control, the lens has been fitted with a multiple-axis optical image stabilisation system that compensates for up to 3.5 stops of camera shake. When paired with the likes of the Leica SL2 Digital Camera Body, you'll be afforded an even greater level of stabilisation for much sharper handheld shooting with slower shutter speeds.

When it comes to focusing, this lens features a stepping motor with linear positioning that offers precise, smooth and silent autofocusing. You can accurately focus as close as 30cm at the wide 24mm focal length, or as close as 45cm when shooting at the 90mm end. As well as this, the focusing drive is completely internal which in turn, prevents the front filter ring from rotating. This is particularly useful as it allows you to efficiently work with circular polarizers, graduated ND filters and filters that rely on specific placement.

Designed To Last

Amongst the many high-quality features that this lens possesses, it has been designed to stand up against the elements. The lens is weather-sealed which protects again dust and moisture allowing you to shoot in adverse weather conditions. Furthermore, both the front and rear optical surfaces have been treated with a water-repellent AquaDura coating that makes it easier to keep your lens in optimal condition.

FAQs:

Is this lens an autofocus lens?

Yes, this lens is an auto focus lens on any L mount camera.

Will this lens work on the Leica CL?

Yes, this lens will work on the CL and without an adapter. However, due to the smaller sensor on the CL, the 24-90mm focal length will change to an equivalent of 35-135mm.

Can this be mounted on a Leica M Mount camera?

This cannot be mounted on a Leica M-Mount Camera. The Leica SL can take M mount lenses with an adapter but not the reverse.
