The Leica APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90-280mm f/2.8-4 Lens is an impressive, high-performance lens that can be utilised well out at sports events, wildlife, and even weddings. The enhanced lens sports a powerful AF System with Dual Syncro Drive delivering striking sharp images in no time when mounted onto your L Mount, Full-Frame Format camera.
The outstanding Autofocus performance provides an extremely fast, accurate, and almost silent system letting you capture just about anywhere without disturbing the surrounding. The Leica APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90-280mm f/2.8-4 Lens incorporates 23 elements in seven moving groups, where seven of them are made from glass with anomalous partial dispersion to effectively reduce chromatic aberrations; and the movement of two focusing elements is provided by a completely new developed drive concept that features linear positioning by stepping motors enabling the entire focusing throw to travel completely in fractions of a second.
