Apo-Vario-Elmarit-SL-90-280 f/2.8-4 lens

If you’re looking for a zoom lens that keeps your images sharp, distortion low, and can even vignette up to 5.5. stops, then allow us to introduce to you the Apo-Vario-Elmarit-SL-90-280 f/2.8-4 lens from Lecia. It’s a fast piece of tech that offers a large range of focal lengths – so you can shoot your shot from all sorts of different angles and distances. Oh, and it even has optical stabilisation, which stops any shaking.

AF System with Dual Syncro Drive™
The AF system of these lenses is fast, precise, and almost silent. They thank their outstanding AF performance figures to the autofocus drive unit they share. These are limited only by the mass of the lens elements moved when focusing, the travel from infinity to the closest focusing distance and, of course, the amount of space available. In order to preserve the compact dimensions of the lenses, the integration of these components must follow an integral approach.

Construction Details
Of the 23 elements in seven moving groups, seven are made from glasses with anomalous partial dispersion for the minimisation of chromatic aberrations. The movement of the two focusing elements is provided by a newly developed drive concept with linear positioning of the lenses by stepping motors. A special feature of this is that the overall length of the lens does not change when either focusing or zooming.
