Now available for preorder: Leica's new APO-Macro-Elmarit 100mm f/2.8, a powerful macro lens for the L-Mount that pays homage to the legendary camera manufacturer's classic R-mount lens released back in 1987. This modern take combines 1:1 macro capabilities with the versatility of a portrait-ready telephoto focal length.
The 100mm f/2.8 features an apochromatic correction to reduce chromatic aberrations and ensure exceptional sharpness, color accuracy, and contrast. Plus, the lens offers a close focusing distance of 11.4" for a sizeable working distance, which makes the lens perfect for photographing insects and other small critters without worrying about scaring them off.
Like many comparable lenses on the market, the Leica excels as a portrait lens, combining the compression of a telephoto focal length with the beautifully rendered background from an f/2.8 aperture. The look is further enhanced with a nine-blade diaphragm, creating smooth, natural bokeh with seamless tonal transitions.
Featuring a precision-crafted full-metal design, the Leica APO-Macro-Elmarit 100mm f/2.8 is engineered to meet the demanding workflows of professionals and enthusiasts alike. Plus, the front lens element is equipped with an AquaDura coating, offering added protection against moisture, dust, and fogging.
L-mount shooters looking for a robust, high-performance macro or portrait lens will be more than satisfied with this latest offering from Leica. If you'd like to learn more about the Leica APO-Macro-Elmarit 100mm f/2.8 lens, check out the detailed product page.
