Leica Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 16-35mm f/3.5-4.5 ASPH.

The Leica SL lenses are full-frame AF lenses designed for professional needs. With the highest image performance at every aperture and distance, the new Leica SL Auto-focus is the fastest AF available for full-frame system cameras. The SL lenses are silent and offer precise AF. All SL lenses have an AquaDura hydrophobic coating on the outer lens elements. The lenses are sealed to protect from dust and water.

Group photos, landscape and architectural shots: Whenever something is more about the picture, choose the Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 1: 3.5-4.5 / 16-35 ASPH. as a universally applicable wide-angle lens, which widens the horizon of the existing SL Vario portfolio by the wide-angle range with its focal length range of 16-35 mm.

In addition to the excellent imaging performance over the entire focal length range typical of Leica, the high-performance lens offers fast and quiet autofocus. In this case, a single, very light single lens is moved to focus. With the aid of the specially developed motor concept, consisting of a stepper motor and a linear guide, it is thus possible to focus very quickly, quietly and precisely, whereby the overall length of the objective remains unchanged.

The newly developed optical design of the Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 1: 3.5-4.5 / 16-35 ASPH. consists of a total of 18 lenses in 12 groups. Two aspherical lenses are used for the correction of monochromatic aberrations and three lenses made of glasses with anomalous partial dispersion for the correction of chromatic aberrations.

The essentials:

• Improved frame geometry and high quality coating
• High flexibility
• High product quality and exceptional imaging performance with specially developed focus motor
• Newly developed optical design
• Wide-angle photography
• Focal length of 16-35 mm expands existing portfolio
• Fast and almost noiseless autofocus
• L-mount bayonet
