Leica's new SL APO-Summicron lenses are compact and ergonomic that pair perfectly with the SL, and CL/TL systems.

High speed and an unmistakably aesthetic rendition of out-of-focus areas make this telephoto lens the first choice for every portrait photographer. The precision and almost silent action of its autofocus give photographers decisive extra moments to concentrate fully on the creative aspects of their work and the people in front of their camera.

The new Leica Summicron-SL-Lenses achieve extremely high contrast performance at maximum aperture, which makes them particularly suitable for creative shallow depth of field work and distinct isolation of subject details. Thanks to their shallow depth of field and exceptional imaging performance, every single lens guarantees the special look for which Leica photography is renowned.

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.
