Compact Performance

Designed as the most compact and lightweight standard zoom for the SL system, this lens covers a useful wide-angle to portrait-length range and retains an impressively bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture.

• Constant f/2.8 maximum aperture enables working in low-light conditions throughout the zoom range as well as benefits control over depth of field.
• Optical design uses a trio of aspherical elements to improve sharpness and promote the more compact, portable lens design.
• Updated lens coatings offer increased contrast and accurate color rendering in a variety of lighting conditions.
• Floating element in the lens design helps maintain consistent sharpness throughout the focusing range.
• Quiet and fast focusing drive benefits both photographers and videographers; the focusing range also achieves a 1:3.3 maximum magnification from a 19cm minimum focusing distance at the 28mm focal length position.

Durable Design and Intuitive Handling

In addition to its portable design, this lens is also built for use in a variety of conditions and sports a reliable physical construction.

• Portable lens weighs 572g and measures 73 x 102mm; this is more than an 226g weight savings compared to the Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70mm f/2.8 lens while also being nearly an inch shorter.
• Lens housing is built from magnesium and aluminum alloys and has a simple, minimalist design with dual control rings to adjust both focus and zoom positions.
• Dust- and splash-proof design for working in inclement conditions and an Aqua-Dura hydrophobic coating has been applied to the front and rear elements.
