The Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 16-35mm f/3.5-4.5 ASPH. from Leica is an adaptable wide-angle zoom lens, ideally suited for landscape, architectural, and group portrait photography. Designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras, this lens features a sophisticated optical configuration that includes two aspherical elements and three low dispersion elements. This design effectively minimizes spherical and chromatic aberrations across the entire zoom range, ensuring exceptional sharpness, clarity, and color fidelity. To enhance contrast in challenging lighting situations, multi-layer coatings have been applied to reduce flare and ghosting. The lens is equipped with a stepping motor that provides rapid and silent autofocus, while a floating elements system ensures consistent imaging quality throughout the focusing range. Furthermore, an AquaDura coating has been applied to the exposed elements, and the lens design incorporates seals to enhance durability in demanding environmental conditions.

• Wide-angle zoom is designed for full-frame Leica L-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 24-52.5mm equivalent focal length range.
  
  
• Two aspherical elements are used to reduce distortion and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.
  
  
• Three anomalous partial dispersion glass elements are featured to suppress chromatic aberrations throughout the aperture range for increased color accuracy and clarity.
  
  
• Multi-layer coatings have been applied to individual elements to suppress surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and color fidelity.
  
  
• Stepping motor delivers quick, precise, and near-silent autofocus performance to suit both photo and video applications. This system also avails full-time manual focus override.
  
  
• Floating elements system and an internal focusing design maintain consistent image quality throughout the focusing range, from 9.8" to infinity.
  
  
• Water-repellent AquaDura coating has been applied to the front and rear optical surfaces to protect against moisture and other elements.
  
  
• Weather-sealed design protects against dust and moisture to benefit working in inclement shooting conditions.
