Leica Super-Vario-Elmarit-SL 14-24mm f/2.8 ASPH. Lens
The Super-Vario-Elmarit-SL 14-24 f/2.8 ASPH. is the first SL lens to feature a 14 mm focal length, introducing a versatile and fast super wide-angle zoom lens to the SL range. Designed with 18 lens elements—three of which are aspherical—distributed in 13 groups, it masterfully negates distortions and chromatic aberrations, delivering sterling imagery and video quality at any aperture and focal length.
Its range of applications extends from architecture and interior shots to street, astro and landscape photography. Its integrated metal lens hood not only minimizes unwanted flare but also serves as a protective shield for the strongly curved front lens. Furthermore, an integrated holder on the bayonet connection allows the use of filters.
Breathtaking Panoramas with Technical Precision
The Super-Vario-Elmarit-SL 14–24 f/2.8 ASPH. enables breathtaking panoramas of architecture and landscapes, as well sweeping views of interior spaces. The ultra-wide-angle range of this lens creates a striking sense of space, while the constant aperture ensures excellent results with clear lines and brilliant detail even in difficult lighting conditions. This lens has been conceived for photographers seeking to combine expansive perspectives with precision control.
The Strengths of the 14–24mm SL Zoom Lens
The lens is designed for photographers seeking to capture wide vistas with technical precision. You can switch between extreme ultra-wide angles and moderate wide angles without compromising on quality. The constant aperture ensures uniform exposure across the entire zoom range. The Super-Vario-Elmarit-SL 14–24 f/2.8 ASPH. exhibits excellent edge sharpness despite its expansive perspective. This means that details are even captured at the image boundaries, which is especially important for architectural and landscape shots.
Design Details
The optical design encompasses 18 lenses in 13 groups. Multiple aspherical lens elements are engineered to correct distortion and spherical aberration, which is vital for the ultra-wide-angle range. Glass with anomalous partial dispersion minimizes chromatic aberration over the entire zoom range. Disruptive color fringing is imperceptible in luminous highlights and contrast edges. With a close focus distance of 28 cm and a quick, quiet AF system, the Super-Vario-Elmarit-SL 14–24 f/2.8 ASPH. works accurately even at a narrow depth of field and is especially well suited to video production. Its metal housing is sealed against dust and splash water, making it ideal for demanding outdoor applications.
