Great lens. Very sharp.

It's time to elevate your photography with the Leica Apo-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90-280mm f/2.8-4 Lens for Leica SL/T. This L-mount lens is a technological marvel, offering rapid performance and exceptional accuracy due to its internal focusing and zooming capabilities. With seven separate moving groups, including two exclusive focusing elements powered by linear stepping motors, you'll enjoy precise results across the expansive zoom range.

The lens features an advanced optical image stabilization system, capable of negating up to 3.5 stops of camera shake. This ensures your handheld shots remain sharp and clear, even in challenging lighting conditions. The removable rotating tripod collar offers added stability, with firm 90-degree detents for effortless switching between portrait and landscape modes.

Experience unparalleled optical brilliance with this lens. Out of the 23 elements in the seven moving groups, seven are crafted from glasses with anomalous partial dispersion. This design choice dramatically reduces chromatic aberrations, ensuring your shots are free from color fringing and false colors.

Designed for professional use, this lens is perfect for full-frame mirrorless cameras and can also be adapted for APS-C models. The f/2.8-4 maximum aperture not only aids in challenging lighting conditions but also offers meticulous control over focus for selective focus shots.

The lens features a stepping motor with linear positioning, promising smooth, silent, and pinpoint accurate autofocus performance. The dual internal focusing design, paired with the internal zoom design, ensures the lens remains compact and prevents unwanted rotation of the front 82mm filter ring.

Built for adventurous shoots, the lens features an AquaDura hydrophobic coating on both the front and rear elements for protection against moisture and smudging. The lens is also completely dust and water-sealed, ensuring your lens remains protected in challenging conditions.

Additional features include a lens hood to prevent unwanted light from affecting your shot quality, and a removable rotating tripod collar with detents at 90-degree positions for stability and ease of use. Experience the fusion of technology and artistry with the Leica Apo-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90-280mm f/2.8-4 Lens for Leica SL/T.
