Lens\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeica Camera AG has expanded the Summicron-SL lens family with another high-performance lens: the \u003cstrong\u003eLeica APO-Summicron-SL 50mm f\/2 ASPH. \u003c\/strong\u003eIts focal length makes the new SL-Lens extremely versatile and recommends it for use in almost any situation – for instance, reportage and travel photography, studio work, architectural, landscape, portrait, close-up or documentary photography. As is the case with the other Summicron-SL lenses, the APO-Summicron-SL 50mm f\/2 ASPH. sets standards and takes its place as the new reference lens among the standard focal lengths. Thanks to the L-Mount standard, the APO-Summicron-SL 50mm f\/2 ASPH. is also fully compatible with cameras manufactured by other partners of the L-Mount Alliance that also use the lens mount developed by Leica.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwelve extremely complex lens elements – three of which have aspherical surfaces – arranged in ten groups contribute to the ultimate in terms of image quality, even wide open. After all, Leica lenses fulfill the following promise: the maximum aperture is a working aperture. In view of this, stopping down is exclusively a creative imaging tool, and is not necessary for achieving better imaging performance. Natural skin tones, soft transitions into the bokeh, outstanding contrast in details and consistent sharpness from edge to edge of distortion-free images are further quality characteristics of lenses manufactured by Leica Camera, and also apply to the APO-Summicron-SL 50mm f\/2 ASPH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe autofocus drive of all Summicron-SL lenses employs extremely powerful and robust stepping motors with DSD (Dual Syncro Drive). Thanks to these, the entire focusing throw can be traveled completely in only around 250 milliseconds. Leica Camera also takes an innovative approach in the case of manual focusing technology: Summicron-SL lenses feature a totally new manual focusing ring construction concept. In this concept, a ring magnet with alternating north-south polarization is embedded in the manual focusing ring. The magnetic field changes its polarity when the ring is turned. A sensor monitors the status of the magnetic field and sends the data to the main processor. The drive then shifts the lens to the corresponding focusing position on the basis of the angle of rotation and the rotational speed – this in turn enables even faster and more precise manual focusing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApochromatic Lens Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual Synchro Drive Autofocus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeather Sealed All-Metal Housing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh performance in a handy format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew dimension of visual aesthetics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatile standard focal length extends the lens portfolio of the Leica SL and other L-mount systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick and quiet focusing thanks to precision autofocus system with Dual Syncro Drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecise production \"Made in Germany\" under the highest quality standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflection and scattered light optimization through high quality coating and optimized frame geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAquaDura coating for dust and spray protection for use in everyday photography under extreme conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50mm f\/2 ASPH. standard focal length for versatile shooting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwelve lens elements in ten groups with four aspherical surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference-grade optical performance among standard focal lengths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum aperture f\/2 is a working aperture—no stopping down required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural skin tones and soft bokeh transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutstanding contrast with edge-to-edge sharpness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistortion-free imaging across the frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDSD (Dual Syncro Drive) autofocus with 250ms focusing throw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInnovative magnetic manual focusing ring for precision control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast and accurate manual focusing capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking range from infinity to 0.35m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum reproduction ratio of 1:5 for close-up work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronically controlled aperture (f\/2 to f\/22)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL-Mount compatible with L-Mount Alliance cameras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-frame 35mm format sensor compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE67 filter thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact at 102mm length and 740g weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for reportage, travel, studio, architectural, landscape, and portrait photography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatible With:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCameras\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL-Mount Cameras \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilters\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e67mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eø: 2.87 x L: 4.02\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWeight:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.63 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer SKU:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11185\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn The Box:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeica APO-Summicron-SL 50mm f\/2 ASPH.
