Closeness and Context in Balance
The APO-Summicron-SL 28 f/2 ASPH. combines wide angle with natural perspective. Whenever subject and surroundings are equally important, this 28 mm fixed focal length is an excellent choice. The fast f/2 focal ratio allows photos to be taken in difficult lighting conditions, while apochromatic correction ensures the highest imaging performance. When working with dynamics and proximity, this APO lens built for the SL-System will allow you to make a balanced, deliberate visual impact.
The Strengths of the 28 mm SL-Lens
You can clearly separate the subject from the background without losing a sense of depth. The view angle of the APO-Summicron-SL 28 f/2 ASPH. provides a good overview of the scene, without any undue distortion of the perspective. This makes the 28 mm focal length particularly popular for projects involving street or reportage photography. Even at a wide aperture, details are impressive and contrast edges are crisp with this APO lens, as colour fringing is reliably suppressed. Its harmonious bokeh enables image composition characterised by distinctive aesthetics.
Design Details
The optical design encompasses 13 lenses in 10 groups. Multiple aspherical elements minimise spherical aberration and ensure crisp edge sharpness. Nine of the lenses are made of high-quality specialised glass elements with anomalous partial dispersion. This ensures effective compensation for chromatic aberration throughout the entire system. A floating element ensures consistent focusing performance even at a close focus distance of 24 cm. Thanks to the precise autofocus, reliable focus tracking is possible even if the subject is moving. The robust metal housing of the APO-Summicron-SL 28 f/2 ASPH. is sealed against dust and moisture, allowing it to be used in challenging environments.
