Fast ultra-wide-angle lens

The Super-APO-Summicron-SL 1:2/21mm combines the worlds first APO lens with 21mm with latest technology made by Leica.

The 21mm focal length can be used flexible for several use cases -especially for landscape, interior, street and architectural photography.

Natural skin tones, smooth transitions into bokeh, exceptional contrast in details, and edge-to-edge sharpness are a matter of course for Leica APO-Lenses.

The Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm f/2.8-f/4 ASPH. is very fast and offers a large range of focal lengths. A close focusing limit of 0.3 meters at its wide-angle setting and a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:3.8 at the telephoto end of the zoom range provide fascinating opportunities. Its optical image stabilisation (OIS) compensates for up to 3.5 stops of camera shake.

The APO-Summicron-SL 28 f/2 ASPH. combines a classic wide-angle focal length with state-of-the-art technology. The 28mm focal length allows for a sharp overview from edge to edge without distorting the perspective too much. The ability to separate the focal plane without loss of performance by using an open aperture provides even more extensive creative possibilities.

The zoom range of the fast Leica APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90-280 mm f/2.8-4 follows on directly from that of the Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90 mm f/2.8-4 ASPH. Together, these two lenses cover a full range of focal lengths extending from 24 to 280 mm.

The newly developed dual internal focusing concept enables the fastest autofocus found in any professional camera system. Its optical image stabilisation (OIS) compensates for up to 3.5 stops of camera shake.

Of the 23 elements in seven moving groups, seven are made from glasses with anomalous partial dispersion for the minimisation of chromatic aberrations. The movement of the two focusing elements is provided by a newly developed drive concept with linear positioning of the lenses by stepping motors. The lens hood supplied with the lens. The lens also has a rotating, removable tripod plate built in.

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.
