Today Leica announced that
the new SUPER-VARIO-ELMAR-SL 1:3.5-4.5/16-35 ASPH is available now. With a zoom range from 16 – 35 mm, this new
high-performance lens expands the spectrum of the existing SL zoom lenses into
the super wide-angle range. As already
proven from the standard and telephoto SL lenses, this universal wide-angle
zoom lens is characterized by fast and near-silent autofocus, uncompromising
image performance, and reliable everyday usability that fulfil Leica’s promise
of outstanding quality made in Germany.
Group portraits,
landscapes, and architecture: Whenever the scene demands a wider view, the
Leica Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 16–35 f/3.5–4.5 ASPH. is the perfect wide-angle lens
for capturing it all. With a range of focal lengths from 16 to 35 mm, this
high-performance lens expands the spectrum of the existing portfolio of SL zoom
lenses into the super wide-angle range.
Together with exceptional
imaging performance expected from a Leica at all focus distances and apertures,
this high-performance lens offers simultaneously fast and nearly silent
autofocus. To achieve this, only one very lightweight lens element is moved for
focusing. A specially developed focus drive comprising a stepping motor and
linear positioning enables very fast, almost-silent, and precise focusing
without changing the overall length of the lens barrel.
As is the case with all
other components of the Leica SL-System, the Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 16–35
f/3.5–4.5 ASPH. is designed and constructed to meet the special demands of
professional photography. Made in Germany, the rugged construction of this lens
and its AquaDura® lens coating make it ideal for use in even the most difficult
conditions. Improved high-quality coatings ensure optimum suppression of
reflections and stray light within the optical system, for shooting in even the
harshest lighting.
The newly designed optical
system of the Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 16–35 f/3.5–4.5 ASPH. contains a total of 18
elements in 12 groups. These include two aspherical lens elements for the
correction of monochromatic aberrations and three elements made from glasses
with anomalous partial dispersion for the correction of chromatic aberrations.
The lens is available for
order at your Leica store or authorized Leica dealer.
