Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 28-70mm f/2.8 ASPH. Lens
The innovative optical design and incorporation of aspherical elements enable the new SL-Lens to deliver exceptional performance while maintaining a constant f/2.8 aperture across its entire focal-length range. Thanks to its constant aperture throughout the zoom range, and incredibly compact and lightweight design, this lens is an ideal choice for both photography and videography.
The focal length spanning from 28 to 70mm allows the lens to transition from wide angle to slight telephoto, making it particularly well-suited for capturing landscapes, travel scenes, and portraits.
Cutting-edge coatings on the lenses ensure optimal color rendition and contrast. These optimize light transmission while effectively minimizing reflections. The sophisticated optical construction, comprising 16 lenses arranged in 12 groups, delivers exceptional performance. Three of these lenses feature aspherical surfaces on both sides, enhancing image quality and precision.
