great lens, comes out to be about 18×1.5 = 27mm in full for leica cl.

Super flat, super light.

The new Leica Elmarit-TL 18mm f/2.8 ASPH. is not only one of the most smallest lenses in its class, it also by far exceeds the imaging performance of its competitors. With a length of only 20.5 millimetres, a weight of no more than 80 grams and fast autofocus, this wide-angle is the perfect ‘constant companion’ for the compact Leica CL.

Super flat, super light.

Leica Camera expands its range of TL lenses with the introduction of the Leica Elmarit-TL 18 mm f/ 2.8 APSH lens (equivalent 27 mm), a lens that provides optical performance that is the best in its class. This is the smallest wide-angle pancake lens in the market for APS-C format and has very fast auto focus due to its compact size and optical design. This compact lens measures only 20.5 mm (approximately 0.81 inches) in thickness and weighs only 80 g (approximately 2.82 ounces). Made in Japan, the Leica Elmarit-TL 18 mm f/2.8 ASPH is available in black or silver anodized. This lens can be used with all L-Mount cameras, APS and SL.

The Leica TL lenses support two great Leica APS-C System Cameras - Leica CL and Leica TL2. With a wide range of lenses in its portfolio, these lenses offer both APS cameras the best image quality and fast performance.
