Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm f/2.8-4 ASPH. Lens

The Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm f/2.8-4 ASPH. is a high-performance standard zoom lens tailored for full-frame L mount mirrorless cameras. Its 18-element, 15-group optical design includes four aspherical elements, nine rounded diaphragm blades, and 11 anomalous partial dispersion components, effectively minimizing chromatic aberrations and distortion for exceptional sharpness and clarity. With a maximum aperture range of f/2.8-4, it excels in diverse lighting conditions and enables precise control over focus for shallow depth of field effects. This lens delivers consistent, reliable results across all focal lengths and focusing distances, making it ideal for a wide range of photographic styles.

Enhancing image quality, the lens features a 3.5-stop effective Optical Image Stabilization system that reduces the effects of camera shake, ensuring sharper handheld shots in challenging light. Its silent, precise autofocus motor supports both photography and videography, using an internal focusing mechanism for faster response. This design keeps the front 82mm filter ring stationary, facilitating the use of circular polarizers and graduated filters. The lens is protected by Leica’s AquaDura hydrophobic coating on front and rear elements to resist moisture and smudges, along with a fully dust- and water-sealed construction for reliable performance in harsh conditions.

• Wide-angle to portrait-length 24-90mm L mount zoom is designed for use on full-frame mirrorless cameras, and can also be used on APS-C-sized models where it will provide a 36-135mm equivalent focal length range.
• The f/2.8-4 maximum aperture is ideal for working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers increased control over focus position for selective focus applications.
• Four aspherical elements and 11 anomalous partial dispersion glass elements reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range and increase image sharpness and clarity.
• A multiple-axis Optical Image Stabilization system compensates for up to 3.5 stops of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting with slower shutter speeds.
• A stepping motor with linear positioning offers smooth, silent, and precise autofocus performance for focusing as closely as 30cm at the 24mm focal length position, or as closely as 45cm at the 90mm focal length position. Only a single lightweight element is moved during focusing for quickened speeds.
• The water-repellent AquaDura coating has been applied to the front and rear optical surfaces to protect against moisture and other elements.
• Weather-sealed design protects against dust and moisture to benefit working in trying shooting conditions.
• Internal focusing design prevents the front filter ring from rotating during operation to better enable working with circular polarizers, graduated ND filter, or other types of filters dependent on a specific orientation.
