Paying homage to the classic
R-mount lens released in 1987, the Leica APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL 100mm f/2.8 Lens brings
a celebrated Leica legacy into the modern SL-System as its first full-frame
apochromatic macro lens. Combining true 1:1 macro capability with the
versatility of a premium telephoto focal length, it delivers exceptional image
quality and creative flexibility for macro and portrait photographers who
demand excellence in every frame. Designed
to uncover details beyond the limits of human eye, the 100mm f/2.8 offers a
close focusing distance of 11.4" and a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:1.
Advanced apochromatic correction minimizes chromatic aberrations and ensures
exceptional sharpness, contrast, and color accuracy from edge to edge.
Whether
capturing intricate textures, delicate subjects, or technical product imagery,
the lens delivers outstanding optical performance throughout the image field. Beyond its macro capabilities, the 100mm
f/2.8 Lens excels as a portrait lens, combining flattering telephoto
compression with a beautifully rendered background. A nine-blade aperture
creates smooth, natural bokeh and seamless tonal transitions, helping subjects
stand apart with depth and dimension. The result is a lens that transitions
effortlessly between detailed close-up work and expressive portrait photography
while maintaining the refined image character expected from a Leica APO lens.
Engineered
for demanding professional workflows, the 100mm f/2.8 features a fast and
silent autofocus system that delivers precise focusing performance without
distraction. Its precision-crafted full-metal construction provides excellent
durability, while the AquaDura-coated front element offers added protection
against moisture, dust, and environmental changes. The versatile 67mm
filter mount expands creative possibilities, and despite its robust build, the
lens remains well balanced for extended shooting sessions. Together, these
features make it a dependable tool for photographers who require uncompromising
performance.
