Advanced Optical Design

As standard, this lens features the very same dedication to the intricate and advanced optical design elements that are seen in all Leica lenses. Each lens features an incredible amount of consideration and thought which is part of the reason for Leica lenses to be able to capture such high-quality images. This lens structure is comprised of 11 glass elements that are arranged into 9 groups. These elements include the use of two aspherical elements and four anomalous partial dispersion glass elements. Combined, these elements significantly reduce the appearance of chromatic and spherical aberrations throughout the focusing range, which results in overall increased image sharpness and clarity. In addition to these elements, select elements feature a multi-layer coating that minimises both flare and ghosting.

Aperture and Focusing

To complement the advanced optical makeup of this lens, this lens is afforded a wide, bright, fast and hugely versatile maximum f1.4 aperture. This aperture provides one of two things - Having such a wide aperture allows for flexibility when shooting in low-light, or difficult lighting situations; maintaining image quality even when wide open. The second benefit of this aperture is that aperture range from f1.4 to f22 is that you are provided enhanced and expressive control of depth of field and therefore, selective focus. This allows you to get creative, making dramatic and engaging images that will connect with your audience. The use of an internal focusing system means that the lens will stay the same length when in use and this helps maintain the highest level of image quality, and prevents the filter ring from rotating which allows for use with filters that are dependent on a specific orientation.
