Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70mm f/2.8 ASPH. Lens
Key Features
  • L-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
  • Aperture Range: f/2.8 to f/22
  • Three Aspherical Elements
  • Internal Focus, Non-Rotating Filter Ring
Spanning a popular and versatile range of focal lengths, the Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70mm f/2.8 ASPH. Lens from Leica is designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras. Ranging from wide-angle to portrait length, this lens provides excellent sharpness across all f-stops and focus distances, and three aspherical elements greatly reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions for notable image sharpness and clarity. The lens's f/2.8 maximum aperture benefits working in a variety of lighting conditions while offering precise control over focus position for working with shallow depth of field techniques, and a quiet and precise autofocus motor benefits both stills and video capture. Well-suited for nearly any photographic application, the lens offers lighter weight thanks to the omission of OIS, and this compact workhorse is constructed with a metal body and weather-sealing for durability and protection in harsh environments and inclement weather conditions.

This lens appears to be almost identical to the Sigma version. Since Sigma is a member of the "L lens team", can we assume that Sigma is manufacturing this lens under Leica's control?
Asked by: Karl
I think the staff of B&H have not answered your question correctly. Your question was, can we assume that Sigma is manufacturing this lens under Leica's control? The answer, No, Sigma lenses are not manufactured under Leica control does not address the question. The correct answer should be, No, this Leica lens is not manufactured by Sigma.
