Constructional Details
The optical design of the Vario-Elmar-SL 100-400 f/5-6.3 comprises 22 lenses in 16 groups. Both outer lenses have a water and dirt-repellent Aqua-Dura® coating.

The lens provides creators with weather sealing and the AquaDura® coating on the external glass elements, making the range of applications extremely versatile. Above all, it shines in nature, wildlife, sports, and action photography. The built-in optical image stabilization ensures blur-free images while the fast autofocus focuses precisely on moving objects.

The Vario-Elmar-SL 100-400 f/5-6.3 has an ARCA-SWISS compatible, detachable tripod base that can be inserted directly into a suitable coupling system without a quick-release plate. This provides a secure hold at all times when photographing or filming with a tripod.
