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.

A: All items in our inventory are new unless clearly stated otherwise on the item's page, or if you are searching on the Used section of our website.

Q: 5. How well does this lens work with the macro-adapter-m, given the shorter 30cm focal distance?

A: We anticipate that it will most likely work, but it might bring the point of focus VERY close to the front of the lens. And if it gets so close it can be really hard to work with, where you start blocking your light source unless it comes in from a very particular angle. Hope this helps.

Q: 6. Does this lens breathe when rocking focus for video? Thanks.

A: There is some slight focus breathing when focus racking.

Q: 7. When was this lens introduced and how does it compare with apo 90 M?

A: This lens was introduced in January of 2018. Optically it's what you would expect from Leica. It's an incredibly sharp lens with fast autofocus. The SL 75mm APO has many advantages over the 90mm. The 75mm outresolves the 90mm APO M, has autofocus and it's sharper. The disadvantage though is the contrast. The M lens has more of a punch to it's images while the SL is less contrasty but, makes it up in a moderate increase in sharpness & details. If you have an SL system, this is a fantastic lens to have. Hopefully this helps.

Q: 8. Dose this lens block the viewfinder of M10R?

A: The 90mm f2 lens will block the lower corner of the viewfinder. The LCD can be used instead o the 90mm f4 would be a smaller combination that will not block the viewfinder.
