Leica 11189 Vario-Elmarit-SL 2.8/24-70 ASPH

The Leica Vario-Elmarit SL 2.8/24-70 ASPH is a lens suitable for reportage, travel, studio, architecture and landscape photography. The lens has a large zoom range with a consistently high brightness of F2.8. This makes it a real asset as a universal lens, making it also suitable for shooting portraits, close-ups and video productions. Thanks to the excellent price-performance ratio, it is also a perfect opportunity for an entry-level or upgrade to the Leica SL-System. The comprehensive lens design, consisting of 19 elements in 15 groups, guarantees excellent optical performance. The use of aspherical lens parts and partial dispersion glass elements provide excellent chromatic correction across the entire focal range. The SL 24-70mm f/2.8's internal focusing is based on a single, lightweight lens element and uses a silent stepping motor for fast and accurate autofocus. Thanks to the robust metal housing and protection against ingress of water and dust, the Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70 f/2.8 ASPH can be used even under severe operating conditions. The 11-blade diaphragm produces a very nice bokeh, which is clearly visible, for example, when taking close-up shots at the very short minimum focusing distance of only 18 centimetres in the wide-angle position.
