Presenting a favored focal length for portraiture, the APO-Summicron-SL 90mm f/2 ASPH. from Leica is an optically refined short telephoto prime designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras. Complementing the comfortable focal length is a bright f/2 maximum aperture that suits working in low-light conditions and also affords great control over depth of field for isolating subject matter. The lens' apochromatic optical design uses anomalous partial dispersion glass to suppress color fringing and chromatic aberrations for high clarity and color accuracy, and one aspherical element is also featured to reduce spherical aberrations for improved sharpness. Multi-layer coatings have also been applied to limit flare and ghosting for increased contrast when working in strong lighting conditions. Complementing the optical assets is a Dual Syncro Drive stepping motor, which delivers fast and quiet autofocus performance, and a floating elements system maintains consistent imaging quality throughout the focusing range. Additionally, an AquaDura coating has been applied to the exposed elements and seals have been incorporated in the lens design to benefit working in harsh environmental conditions.

Leica APO-Summicron-SL 90mm f/2 ASPH. Reviews
Really, really sharp
I haven't had it too long, but my overwhelming impression is SHARP! Yesterday I went to our local chess club. Good lighting for chess, overhead florescent for photography, not so good. I put it on my brand new SL3 and took photos. I've uploaded a sample. It's 443%, 2500 ISO, f2.2, and 1/320th. The noise seems obvious, until you realize what a really tiny portion of the frame is visible. The only downside is the lens seems to hunt for focus a bit. But the lighting wasn't ideal. I should have some studio portraits soon and that will tell how good the lens/body combination is.
Superb!
I have been using this lens for about three months and I am totally satisfied under all respects. The autofocus is quick enough also in low light and the outcomes are always perfect if you know how to properly exploit this 90mm lens. As a result, all photos come very sharp with a perfect color rendering that is typical for almost all Leica lenses. Very enjoyable!
