Product Overview

Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm F2.8-4 ASPH is a standard zoom lens for Leica L-mount. It covers the Full-Frame image circle. Introduced by Leica in 2015, it has 18 elements in 15 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm F2.8-4 ASPH is externally-zooming. For incremental weathers, Leica is kind enough to include weather sealing.
A standard zoom lens with relatively bright maximum aperture, the Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm F2.8-4 ASPH can be a key piece in a photographer's arsenal, though some may prefer prime lenses in this focal range. The lens is also stabilized, making it even easier to use for videos and stills alike.
