The Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm f/2.8-4 ASPH. is a masterclass in optical engineering, serving as the quintessential standard zoom for the full-frame L-mount mirrorless system. Covering everything from sweeping wide-angle vistas to intimate portraits, this lens delivers the legendary “Leica look” with exceptional sharpness, contrast, and color fidelity. Whether you are shooting professional travel, reportage, or commercial work, its versatile range and fast aperture make it a formidable tool for any environment. CONDITION NOTE: This lens is in excellent working order. It includes the original (OG) lens hood and front/rear caps. Please note there is light internal dust present, which is common in zoom lenses and does not affect image quality or performance. Uncompromising Leica OpticsSophisticated Glass: The lens features 18 elements in 15 groups, including four aspherical elements and 11 anomalous partial dispersion elements. This complex recipe virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations and distortions for edge-to-edge clarity. AquaDura Protection: Leica’s proprietary hydrophobic AquaDura coating is applied to the front and rear elements to repel moisture and smudging, while the entire barrel is fully weather-sealed against dust and spray. Versatile Aperture: The f/2.8-4 maximum aperture allows for beautiful subject separation and provides the necessary speed for working in challenging, natural light. Speed and Stability3.5-Stop Optical Image Stabilization: A multi-axis OIS system compensates for camera shake, allowing you to capture sharp handheld shots at much slower shutter speeds than previously possible. High-Speed Silent AF: Driven by a precision stepping motor with linear positioning, the autofocus is near-silent and incredibly fast. It utilizes an internal focusing mechanism, moving only a single lightweight element to ensure the lens length remains constant. Close-Focusing Performance: Capture fine details with a minimum focusing distance of just 11.8″ at the wide end and 17.7″ at the telephoto end. Professional HandlingNon-Rotating 82mm Filter Thread: The internal focus design ensures the front filter ring does not rotate, making it easy to use circular polarizers or graduated ND filters. L-Mount Versatility: While optimized for full-frame SL-series cameras, it is also compatible with APS-C L-mount models, where it provides a 36-135mm equivalent range.
