About Leica APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL
For Those Who Look Closer
APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL 100 f/2.8 is the lens for the Leica SL full-frame system with focus limiter for macro photography and portraiture. Although macro and portrait photography are two different worlds, they have one thing in common: the familiar suddenly appears in a new light.
The APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL 100 f/2.8 lens bridges these two worlds, allowing each to unfold to its full potential. With a close focus distance of 30 cm, it opens up a new sense of intimacy, revealing details in the image that remain hidden to the naked eye.
Near and Far – in Harmony
With a reproduction ratio of 1:1, this L-Mount lens captures fine patterns and surfaces with complete sharpness and minute detail. Apochromatic correction consistently eliminates chromatic aberrations to produce sharp contrast edges and the high-quality images typical of Leica. The fixed focal length of 100 mm also enables you to capture expressive portraits from a distance, with harmonious bokeh and clear separation between the subject and the background.
Focus with Complete Control
In macro photography, in particular, focus is paramount: it determines what is visible, what recedes into the background and what the image ultimately conveys. The autofocus on the APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL works just as reliably for spontaneous portraits as it does for detailed handheld close-ups. The focus limiter allows the lens to be adapted specifically to the situation: it can be set to focus across the entire range from 11.8 to 19.6 inches, or from 19.6 inches to infinity. This enables fast, precise focusing in any shooting situation.
Design Details
The APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL 100 f/2.8 comprises 17 glass elements in 12 groups. Its apochromatic correction minimizes chromatic aberrations across the entire focus range. This ensures high sharpness, clear contrast rendition and very accurate color reproduction from close range to infinity.
With a minimum focusing distance of 11.8 inches, close-up shots can be captured almost at life size. The robust, full-metal body is dust- and splash-proof, while the AquaDura® coating on the outer lenses repels smudges and makes cleaning easier in the field. Weighing 28 ounces, it is a powerful addition to the Leica SL-System.
