Leica revives a legendary 100mm macro – and the new SL version is now available to order
Leica has announced the availability of its first-ever macro lens designed specifically for the SL system, the APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL 100mm f/2.8. This lens can be preordered in the US and UK, with pricing set at $2,700 in the US and £2,110 in the UK. The lens, which combines a 100mm focal length, constant f/2.8 aperture, and true 1:1 reproduction ratio, was inspired by Leica's original APO-Macro-Elmarit-R 100mm f/2.8 from 1987.
Weighing 801g and measuring 137mm in length, the lens boasts a full-metal body, dust and splash protection, and an AquaDura coating to repel moisture and dirt. Featuring autofocus and a dedicated focus limiter, the APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL 100mm f/2.8 offers practicality for various photography applications, including macro and portrait work.
With compatibility for 67mm filters and Leica's 1.4x and 2x L-Mount extenders, this versatile lens is set to become a valuable addition to Leica photographers' collections.
