Design Details

The optical design is based on 11 lenses in nine groups. Multiple elements are made of glass with anomalous partial dispersion to minimise chromatic aberration. An aspherical lens eliminates spherical aberrations. Even at a wide aperture, this ensures a high level of detail while colour fringing is also effectively suppressed. Thanks to an AF system designed for precise focus tracking in the telephoto range as well as a close focus distance of 60 cm, the APO-Summicron-SL 90 f/2 ASPH. is perfectly suited to impressive portrait photography with consistent optical performance. Its robust metal housing is sealed against dust and splash water.
