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.
