True Scope with Apochromatic Precision
The APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90–280 mm is designed to meet the highest demands in the telephoto range. In sport, wildlife and event photography, you benefit from a considerable scope, exceptional imaging performance and high-quality ‘Made in Germany’ manufacturing. Its dual internal focusing (DSD®) concept enables fast autofocus on L-Mount cameras. Together with the optical image stabilisation, it enables exposure times to be extended by up to 3.5 aperture stops.
The Strengths of the 90–280 mm SL Zoom Lens
While working with bold subject separation, you benefit from very clean colour rendering even at extreme contrast with this APO zoom lens. Focusing performs reliably even at the maximum focal length. The integrated image stabilisation enables a high degree of control during handheld telephoto shots. When combined with the precision Dual Syncro Drive™ autofocus, this makes for impressive imagery with an L-Mount camera. This lens is the perfect match for photographers who bridge great distances and yet expect the highest level of precision.
Design Details
Twenty-three lens elements in seven moving groups form the basis for this apochromatically corrected telephoto configuration. Seven elements are made of specialised glass with anomalous partial dispersion. They compensate for chromatic aberrations across the entire zoom range. This frees your images of colour fringing in luminous highlights and contrast edges even at 280 mm. The two focusing elements of the dual internal focusing are moved by a specially developed drive concept with linear positioning of the lenses by stepping motors. This ensures very quick and quiet autofocusing and a consistently high level of imaging performance from the close focus distance to infinity. A special feature of this is that the overall length of the lens does not change when focusing and zooming. The close focus distance of the APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90–280 f/2.8–4 is 60 cm at 90 mm. The lens also has a removable tripod plate for attaching it to a tripod. The lockable tripod collar allows the lens to be secured at any angle. A click-stop at 90 degrees allows you to quickly switch between landscape and portrait formats. Its metal housing is sealed against dust and splash water, making it ideal for demanding outdoor applications.
