The most capable telephoto zoom ever made for the L-mount system — Leica's APO-Vario-Elmar-SL 90-280mm f/2.8-4 applies apochromatic correction across its entire zoom range, eliminating chromatic aberration at focal lengths where it most commonly appears. The result is stunning resolution and colour rendering from 90mm through to 280mm, with a maximum aperture that begins at f/2.8 at the wide end. Weather-sealed to the same standard as the SL camera bodies. Compatible with Leica SL2, SL3, Lumix S-series, and Sigma L-mount cameras.
The reference telephoto zoom for L-mount — APO correction across 90–280mm sets a benchmark for chromatic aberration control that no other telephoto zoom in any system matches.
