Product Overview
Leica APO-Vario-Elmar-TL 55-135mm F3.5-4.5 is a telephoto zoom lens for Leica L-mount. It covers the APS-C image circle. Introduced by Leica in 2014, it has 12 elements in 10 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Leica APO-Vario-Elmar-TL 55-135mm F3.5-4.5 is externally-zooming. Unfortunately, Leica has opted to omit weather sealing for this lens, so owners should pay extra attention when shooting in incremental weathers.
As a telephoto zoom lens, the Leica APO-Vario-Elmar-TL 55-135mm F3.5-4.5 is well suited for landscape and portrait photography, though its relatively dark maximum aperture limits its performance for indoor sports.
