About Leica Super-APO-Summicron-SL

An unparalleled innovation in the world of photography, the Leica Super-APO-Summicron-SL 21 f/2 ASPH lens, in its striking black finish, stands as the world's first APO lens with a 21mm focal length. This 21mm prime lens is a versatile tool, perfect for a wide range of applications including landscape photography, photojournalism, event coverage, architectural photography, and studio work.

The Super-APO-Summicron-SL 21mm f/2 ASPH lens delivers unmatched imaging performance, setting a new standard in the industry. Its f/2 aperture allows for highly luminous images with a shallow depth of field, while the 21cm minimum focusing distance enables impactful detail shots.

This high-performance wide-angle lens is designed to capture images and videos with superior optical performance, offering a broad viewing angle for stunning perspectives and intricate detail. It stays true to Leica's APO lens pedigree, delivering exceptional contrast even in less than ideal lighting conditions. This lens opens up a world of creative possibilities through precise control of focus and bokeh. Expect natural skin tones, smooth gradients, and corner-to-corner sharpness - the hallmarks of Leica APO-Lenses.

The lens is constructed with 14 meticulously engineered lenses, including three aspherical ones, arranged in 11 groups. This design ensures peak performance right from the widest aperture settings. The lens's apochromatic correction sets it apart, making it the world's first 21mm APO lens designed for full-frame cameras. To eliminate chromatic aberration, most of the lens elements are made of a special custom glass featuring anomalous partial dispersion. This is made possible by cutting-edge manufacturing techniques and sophisticated workmanship.

In essence, the Leica Super-APO-Summicron-SL 21mm f/2 ASPH lens is a testament to Leica's commitment to innovation and quality, offering everything a demanding photographer needs, whether shooting landscapes, interiors, architecture, or engaged in photojournalism and studio work.
