Flexibility from Wide Angles to Short Telephoto
The ideal choice for anyone who wants to travel lightly. The Vario-Elmarit-SL 24–70 f/2.8 ASPH. provides the standard focal range for reportage, portrait and event photography. With its universal focal range, constant wide aperture and a close focus distance of only 18 cm at a wide angle, the Vario-Elmarit-SL 24–70 f/2.8 ASPH. is perfectly suited to meet all of the demands of filming and photography.
The Strengths of the 24–70 mm SL Zoom Lens
You can switch between wide angle and short telephoto without compromising on quality. The Vario-Elmarit-SL 24–70 f/2.8 ASPH. combines consistent focusing performance across the entire zoom range with reliably replicable image quality. The AF system’s stepping motor moves a single, extremely lightweight lens element, enabling it to work practically without delay. This standard zoom lens with an L-Mount allows you to achieve excellent results both during continuous shooting and while pulling focus in video production.
Design Details
The configuration includes 19 lenses in 15 groups. Multiple aspherical elements as well as glass elements with anomalous partial dispersion reduce spherical and chromatic aberration across the entire range of focal lengths. This results in consistent imaging performance from 24 to 70 mm. Especially in reportage photography, this lens delivers outstanding sharpness, even at a wide aperture. Contrast edges always look clean and subject details are rendered in all their brilliance. With this zoom lens, a close focus distance of just 18 cm at 24 mm allows you to combine detailed close-ups with clear separation. The completely sealed metal housing protects against dust and splash water and is designed for professional applications.
