Your telephoto dream for the Engadin
The Leica APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90-280mm f/2.8-4 brings the Alps within reach – from ibexes on Piz Palü to action-packed ski races in St. Moritz. With a 90-280mm zoom range (135-420mm on APS-C) and a fast f/2.8-4 aperture, you'll capture every detail in Leica quality. The apochromatic optics (7 elements with anomalous dispersion) eliminate chromatic aberrations for brilliant, high-contrast images. Image stabilization (OIS, up to 3.5 f-stops) ensures razor-sharp handheld shots, while the fast Dual Syncro Drive™ autofocus focuses quietly and precisely. The weatherproof metal construction with AquaDura coating makes it the perfect companion for the Engadin wilderness. With Optik Foto Rutz you can bring the distance closer!
