Leica APO-Summicron-SL 35mm f/2 ASPH. Lens

The Leica APO-Summicron-SL 35mm f/2 ASPH. is a highly regarded and adaptable focal length, featuring an optically sophisticated design. This wide-angle prime lens is specifically crafted for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras. With a bright maximum aperture of f/2, it achieves an optimal balance between speed and compactness, making it an excellent choice for low-light situations while maintaining a lightweight profile. The apochromatic optical configuration incorporates anomalous partial dispersion glass to effectively minimize color fringing and chromatic aberrations, ensuring exceptional clarity and color fidelity. Additionally, five aspherical elements are included to mitigate spherical aberrations, enhancing overall sharpness. The lens is treated with multi-layer coatings to reduce flare and ghosting, thereby improving contrast in challenging lighting environments. Furthermore, it is equipped with a Dual Syncro Drive stepping motor, providing rapid and silent autofocus capabilities suitable for both photography and videography. To enhance durability, an AquaDura coating has been applied to the exposed elements, and the lens design includes seals to protect against adverse environmental conditions.

• Wide-angle 35mm f/2 lens is designed for full-frame Leica L-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 52.5mm equivalent focal length.
  
  
• Bright f/2 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also affords greater control over depth of field for working with selective focusing techniques.
  
  
• Five aspherical elements are used to reduce distortion and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.
  
  
• Apochromatic design employs anomalous partial dispersion glass to suppress chromatic aberrations throughout the aperture range for increased color accuracy and clarity.
  
  
• Multi-layer coatings have been applied to individual elements to suppress surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and color fidelity.
  
  
• Dual Syncro Drive stepping motor delivers quick, precise, and near-silent autofocus performance to suit both photo and video applications. This system also avails full-time manual focus override.
  
  
• Water-repellent AquaDura coating has been applied to the front and rear optical surfaces to protect against moisture and other elements.
  
  
• Weather-sealed design protects against dust and moisture to benefit working in inclement shooting conditions.
