    Its high speed and the unique aesthetics of its depth of focus make this Leica APO-Summicron-SL 90mm f/2 ASPH. telephoto lens the first choice for portrait photographers. At the decisive moment, its almost silent and simultaneously precise autofocus gives photographers more time to concentrate fully on the creative aspects of their subject, the person in front of their camera. Like all Leica SL-Lenses, the APO-Summicron-SL 1:2/90 ASPH. is perfectly matched to the modern SL-System and is constructed for a long working life under professional shooting conditions.

     

    The AF system of the Summicron-SL lenses is fast, precise, and almost silent. They thank their outstanding AF performance figures to the autofocus drive unit they share. These are limited only by the mass of the lens elements moved when focusing, the travel from infinity to the closest focusing distance and, of course, the amount of space available. In order to preserve the compact dimensions of the lenses, the integration of these components must follow an integral approach.

    With an initial aperture of f/2, the SL-Summicron lenses are significantly more compact than faster lenses, but still allow photographers to work with similar depth of field. The reason for this is contrast: the zone of highest contrast is perceived by viewers as being sharp, while zones with lower contrast are regarded as being unsharp.

    In the construction of the Summicron-SL lenses, particular attention has been paid to the prevention of stray light and reflections. The optimization of the optical and mechanical design was carried out in elaborate simulations before the construction of the first prototype lenses. Unavoidable reflections are reduced to the best possible level by high-quality coating of lens surfaces.
