To fulfill the high-level demands of our professional customers, Leica’s design and engineering team has made enormous efforts to achieve a perfect optical design with the Leica Elmarit-S 2.8/30mm ASPH with the 13 lens elements which provides for first class optical performance.
The new Elmarit-S 2.8/30mm ASPH features 5 lens elements with anomalous partial dispersion and 3 flouride elements for superior color correction. There are 2 aspheric lens elements to minimize monochromatic aberration such as distortion and sharpness fall-off at the edges.
The use of high quality materials and the dust and spray water resistance guarantees reliability and a long life-cycle. Like all Leica S-Lenses, the ELMARIT-S 2.8/30mm ASPH delivers perfect imaging results without digital corrections, so that the photographer can completely focus on creative looks and composing the image.
BENEFITS:
• Maximum contrast transfer and highest detail reproduction; even with wide open aperture
• Outstanding reproduction performance with all f-stop and distance settings leads to 3-dimensional image results
• Brilliant and clean colors with minimal distortion
• Due to high lens speed of 2.8 predestined for available light and selective sharpness photography
• Dust and spray water resistant
