Product Description
A Legendary Macro Lens Reimagined for the SL System
Inspired by the iconic R-mount lens introduced in 1987, the Leica APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL 100mm f/2.8 brings a legendary design to the modern SL-System as Leica's first full-frame apochromatic macro lens. Combining true 1:1 macro magnification with a versatile telephoto focal length, it delivers outstanding image quality for close-up photography while excelling in portraits and other detail-oriented applications.
Exceptional Detail and Macro Performance
Designed to reveal details beyond what the naked eye can perceive, the lens offers a minimum focusing distance of 11.4 inches and life-size 1:1 reproduction. Its advanced apochromatic optical design effectively suppresses chromatic aberrations, delivering exceptional sharpness, high contrast, and accurate color reproduction across the entire frame. Whether photographing intricate textures, small subjects, or commercial products, the lens produces consistently impressive results.
From Close-Ups to Portraits
While built for macro photography, the 100mm f/2.8 is equally at home as a premium portrait lens. The flattering telephoto perspective provides natural compression, while the nine-blade diaphragm creates smooth, pleasing bokeh and gentle tonal transitions that help subjects stand out with remarkable depth. This versatility allows photographers to move seamlessly between detailed macro work and expressive portrait photography without compromising image quality.
Professional Design and Reliable Performance
Engineered for demanding professional use, the lens features a fast, quiet autofocus system that delivers precise and dependable focusing for both stills and video. Its precision-machined full-metal construction ensures long-lasting durability, while the AquaDura-coated front element offers added resistance to moisture, dust, and environmental conditions. A standard 67mm filter thread provides compatibility with a wide range of filters, and the balanced design makes the lens comfortable to use during extended shooting sessions. Together, these features make the APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL 100mm f/2.8 a reliable choice for photographers seeking exceptional optical performance and professional-grade craftsmanship.
