This macro lens offers superb close-up photography with its 45mm focal length, equivalent to 90mm on a 35mm camera, and a fast F2.8 aperture. Built-in Optical Image Stabilisation (O.I.S) ensures sharp, blur-free images, even in handheld shooting. It meets Leica's high standards, minimising distortion and aberrations. The advanced inner focus system provides fast, quiet, and precise focusing. Switchable focusing distance allows versatility from macro shots to medium-telephoto portraits and landscapes.
Features
This F2.8, 45mm (35mm camera equivalent: 90mm) macro lens with built-in O.I.S lets you take amazing close-ups (35mm camera equivalent: approx. 2x)
A superior macro lens brings tiny worlds into view
Designed and manufactured to meet Leica’s stringent performance standards, this high-quality macro lens minimises distortion, ghosts, flaring and decreased peripheral resolution.
With 14 elements in ten groups, including one aspherical lens and one ED lens, it provides stable contrast and high resolution all the way from 1.1 macro (3.5mm camera equivalent: 2x) to infinity.
By using a floating inner focus system that shifts three groups of lenses, the elaborate focusing that’s so essential to a macro lens is now faster and quieter. Also featured is a Mega O.I.S, which fights the blurring caused by hands-shake to help you capture clear, sharp images from macro and medium-telephoto portraits to wide landscapes and long telephoto shots.
