Leica Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 16-35 f/3.5-4.5 ASPH. is a wide angle zoom lens with Leica L-bayonet. It
is compatible with Leica SL, LEICA TL and CL cameras 1 . It features exceptionally short close-up
setting limits, which results in large max. magnification ratios.
The Leica Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 16-35 f/3.5-4.5 ASPH. features excellent contrast rendering and
superior resolution with an open aperture, at all focal lengths, and all the way from infinity to close-up.
The lens offers image error compensation and any residual image errors are corrected digitally in the
camera. Stopping down may offer an additional minor performance increase, but would generally only
be used for reasons of image composition via the depth of field.
A total of 18 lenses in five agile assemblies ensure this excellent performance. In addition to the four
aspherical surfaces, there are three lenses with anomalous partial dispersion for correcting chromatic
image errors. All lens surfaces come with a high quality coating to ensure minimal reflection or
scattered light effects.
The focus is set via the movement of a relatively small and lightweight two-lens cemented element. A
drive system consisting of a step motor and a linear guide ensure a very fast auto focus function. The
actual lens length does not change in this model during focusing, which makes it particularly easy to
handle. The focus action is virtually noiseless.
The robust metal construction and complete dust and splash water protection makes this lens a great
choice in adverse conditions.
Summary: The Leica Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 16-35 f/3.5-4.5 ASPH. combines virtually all popular
wide-angle focal lengths in one single lens assembly and features an extraordinary high imaging
performance across the entire focal range from infinity to close-up, with the lens wide open or closed.
It also features a highly robust, weatherproof outer casing. A photographer can build a comprehensive
high performance kit with just three lenses: Leica Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 16-35 f/3.5-4.5 ASPH., a
Leica SL standard zoom and a Leica SL telezoom.
