Description
The Vario-Elmarit-SL 28-70 f/2.8 ASPH. is the most compact and lightweight standard zoom in the SL-System, a fast everyday lens that spans wide-angle to short telephoto while holding a constant f/2.8 aperture across the whole range, equally suited to photography and video.
Its optical design uses sixteen elements in twelve groups, including three elements with aspherical surfaces on both sides and a floating element that keeps sharpness consistent throughout the focusing range, down to 0.19 m at 28 mm for a 1:3.3 maximum magnification. Updated coatings ensure accurate colour and high contrast.
Weighing just 572 g, with an all-metal magnesium-and-aluminium body, dust and splash sealing and an AquaDura coating front and rear, it shares the E67 filter size of the APO-Summicron-SL primes. It is compatible with SL cameras and the wider L-Mount Alliance.
