Fast and sharp when it matters
The Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 16-35mm F/3.5-4.5 ASPH. lens combines Leica’s renowned imaging excellence at all distances and apertures with a fast and near-silent autofocus system.
Focusing is achieved by moving a single lightweight element, facilitated by a custom-designed drive system that integrates a stepping motor and linear guide. This ensures rapid, quiet, and accurate focus adjustments without altering the lens’s overall length.
Reliable under all conditions
Like all components of the SL-System, the Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 16–35 f/3.5–4.5 ASPH. is built to meet the rigorous standards of professional photography.
Manufactured in Germany, its durable construction and AquaDura® lens coating make it perfect for use in challenging conditions. Enhanced mount geometry and premium coatings ensure effective reduction of reflections and stray light within the optical system.
