The universal wide-angle zoom
Interiors, group portraits, landscapes, and more: This Vario lens expands the options offered by the SL-System into the realm of wide-angle photography and ideally complements the existing portfolio of Vario lenses for the Leica SL.

In addition to excellent imaging quality throughout the entire range of focal lengths and at all apertures, the high-performance lens also offers simultaneously fast and quiet autofocus. This is driven by a specially developed focusing drive comprising a stepping motor and linear positioning and moves a single, very light focusing element that, due to its low mass, contributes to the high focusing speed.

The newly designed optical system contains a total of 18 elements in 12 groups. These include two asphericals for the correction of monochromatic aberrations. Three elements made from glass with anomalous partial dispersion correct chromatic aberration, while an improved mount geometry and high-quality coating ensure optimum suppression.

For Those Who Look Closer - Expected September 2026

Although macro and portrait photography are two different worlds, they have one thing in common: the familiar suddenly appears in a new light. A deeper structure that you had never noticed before. A characteristic that only becomes visible in the image. 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.
