  • Key Specs
    • Lens Mount Compatibility: Leica S-Mount
    • Lens Type: Standard Zoom
    • Minimum Focal Length: 28 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
    • Maximum Focal Length: 70 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
    • Maximum Aperture: f/2.8 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)

A surprising combination of compactness, speed, and versatility, the Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 28-70mm f/2.8 ASPH. is a sleek standard zoom for L-mount mirrorless cameras. Trading a bit of reach on the wide end of the zoom, compared to a conventional 24-70mm lens, this zoom instead manages to be especially small and lightweight while still offering a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture for excellent low-light performance and depth of field control. This portable zoom is ideal for everyday shooting and a range of subjects, including everything from landscapes, to portraits, to travel scenes.

  • Feature 1: Versatile Standard Zoom for Full-Frame L-Mount Cameras: Covers a highly practical 28–70mm range, offering wide-angle to short-telephoto perspectives ideal for landscapes, portraits, street, and travel photography while maintaining Leica’s signature image precision.
  • Feature 2: Constant f/2.8 Aperture for Low-Light Excellence: Bright, uniform maximum aperture throughout the zoom range enables consistent exposure, shallow depth of field, and superior performance in dim conditions, making it perfect for both stills and video work.
  • Feature 3: Advanced Optical Design with 4 Aspherical Elements: 19 elements in 15 groups minimize distortion, flare, and chromatic aberrations, ensuring edge-to-edge sharpness, natural color rendition, and exceptional contrast across the entire frame.
  • Feature 4: Precision Autofocus and Durable Construction: Features fast, silent internal focusing optimized for photo and video capture, housed in a robust, dust- and moisture-sealed metal body that withstands professional field use.
  • Feature 5: Professional Handling with Compact Form Factor: Weighing just 1.85 lb (844 g) and using a large 82mm filter thread, it balances perfectly on Leica SL-series bodies, delivering outstanding optical performance in a lightweight, travel-friendly design.

Panasonic - LEICA DG VARIO-SUMMILUX 25-50mm / F1.7 ASPH. H-X2550 - Black

LEICA DG VARIO-SUMMILUX 20-50mm / F1.7 ASPH. H-X2550 lens is built for mirrorless Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount cameras, enabling F1.7 aperture brightness throughout the entire 50-100mm (35mm camera equivalent) zoom range. Its exceptionally high optical performance is suitable for both professional photographers and videographers. Comprising 17 elements in 12 groups, the lens system features three aspherical lenses and four ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses that effectively suppress the axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification. Spherical aberration and distortion are also corrected by the aspherical lenses for stunningly high resolution. The use of aspherical lenses and the optimum design of the lens system results in a compact size and light weight. Compatibility with a maximum 240-fps high-speed sensor drive realizes high-speed, high-precision auto focusing. In addition to the silent operation achieved by the inner focus drive system, the stepless aperture ring and micro-step drive system in the aperture control section help the camera to smoothly catch up to brightness changes when zooming or panning. The optical design achieves exceptional barycentric stability to minimize image shifts during zooming. A focus ring is equipped for intuitive, precise focusing and linear/ non-linear setting can also be switched with this ring.

Fujifilm - XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II Lens - Black
5.0(4)

FUJINON XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II Lens brings resolving power for high-resolution imaging sensors and is the perfect hybrid lens for photographers and videographers. Packing immense creative potential into an updated, lightweight 410g (0.90 lbs) design, XF16-55mmF2.8 II is about 37% smaller than its predecessor, thanks to refinements to its optical design. Its fast, constant F2.8 aperture excels in low-light conditions, while the super extra-low dispersion (ED), aspherical lens elements, and 11-blade iris combine to deliver cinematic shallow depth-of-field for both photos and video alike. A near-silent linear AF motor, smooth aperture control option, and weather resistance round out the compelling reasons that make this the perfect lens to start any creative adventure.

Panasonic - LUMIX S Series Camera Lens, 35mm F1.8 L-Mount Lens for Mirrorless Full Frame Digital Cameras, S-S35 - Black
4.7(31)

LUMIX S 35mm F1.8 is a large-diameter prime lens compatible with all L-mount cameras for maximum versatility. It features a common size and position of control parts with the other series of F1.8 lenses (S-S85, S-S50, S-S24 and this S-S35), with a center of gravity that is almost the same, so it is easy to exchange lenses quickly with minimum balance adjustment when the camera is on a gimbal. They all feature rugged dust/splash-resistant* design and common filters can be used thanks to the same diameter. The descriptive performance of these lenses is also consistent. S-S35 is comprised of 11 lens elements in 9 groups including 3 aspherical lenses and 3 ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lenses. The 3 aspherical lenses realize both high descriptive performance and beautiful bokeh, while the ED lenses effectively suppress chromatic aberration, making the lens suitable for landscapes, snapshots, and portraits. The minimum focusing distance of 0.24m allows it to be used for close-up shots. The S-S35 also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, together with a micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure change for recording professional quality video.
