Leica APO-Summicron-SL 75mm f/2 ASPH. Lens
Coming from the SL prime lens lineup, this product works at versatile focal lengths, and suits the needs of your Leica 75-90 mm lenses. It is ideal for a lot of situations, including portraiture, street photography, and a whole lot more. It features a razor-thin depth of field that creates better effects, and the most ideal imaging performance working for all apertures.
The product has special qualities to love. It is powerful and bright yet compact enough to carry anywhere. It comes with high light intensity, thus bringing enormous possibilities, plus motifs can easily be worked on with the use of depth of field of background and foreground – whether to shoot out of hand in low light or to freeze fast movements.
This product is gifted with an innovative design, with compact dimensions and lesser weight than usual. Excellent imaging results are expected at all times. It. is made up of 11 lenses with an aspherical surface. To correct the color aberrations, a very high proportion of the lenses are made of sensitive and high-quality special lenses. Their special optical property, the so-called anomalous partial dispersion, makes it possible to compensate for the chromatic aberrations introduced by the other glasses. As a result, even highlights in the picture are largely free of color edges.
Portraits with Depth and Brilliance
If you seek to combine expression with technical perfection, this lens gets you off to a great start. With the APO-Summicron-SL 75 f/2 ASPH., you work at a natural distance and exert maximum control over your visual impact. This focal length is ideally suited for portraits, editorial photography and evocative close-ups. The lens speed lends itself to work with available light and supports targeted separation with unobtrusive backgrounds. At the same time, the details captured with a wide aperture are particularly defined.
The Strengths of the 75 mm SL-Lens
You benefit from harmonious perspective that captures facial expressions in a flattering way while retaining structure. At a wide aperture, separation between subject and background can be controlled without compromising on the exceptional imaging performance of this APO lens. Thanks to apochromatic correction, color fringing is even avoided in luminous highlights. The focal plane can be adjusted precisely, which is particularly advantageous at a narrow depth of field. This results in impressive portraits that exhibit clarity and calm.
Design Details
The APO-Summicron-SL 75 f/2 ASPH. includes 13 lenses in 11 groups. Multiple lenses made of specialized glass with anomalous partial dispersion provide apochromatic correction. Aspherical elements reduce spherical aberration and ensure high resolution right up to the edges. A floating element optimizes the imaging performance at close range and guarantees consistent focus down to the close focus distance of 50 cm. The autofocus with Dual Syncro Drive operates with great accuracy, enabling precise focusing, for example, during portrait photography at a narrow depth of field. The metal housing is completely sealed against dust and moisture.
