Brand Leica System Leica SL

The Leica APO-Summicron-SL 28mm f/2 ASPH. is the wide-angle member of the APO-Summicron-SL family, pairing a natural 28mm field of view with a fast f/2 aperture. It's a superb choice for street and reportage work, where subject and surroundings both matter.

Apochromatic optics deliver crisp, clean images even wide open, a floating element keeps things sharp down to 0.24 m, and the sealed metal body shrugs off dust and moisture. It shares the same E67 filter size as its siblings for an easy-to-build kit.

A Balanced Wide-Angle Perspective

The 28mm focal length gives a clear overview of a scene while keeping perspective natural and free of undue distortion. You can separate your subject from the background without losing depth, which is exactly why this focal length is so popular for street and reportage projects.

Apochromatic Optical Performance

The design uses 13 elements in 10 groups, including six aspherical surfaces that minimize spherical aberration for crisp edge-to-edge sharpness. Nine elements use specialized glass with anomalous partial dispersion, compensating for chromatic aberration so color fringing is reliably suppressed even wide open.

Precise Autofocus and Close Focusing

A floating element keeps focusing performance consistent down to a 0.24 m close-focus distance, so subjects remain sharp up close. Leica's precise Dual Synchro Drive autofocus enables reliable, responsive focus tracking even with moving subjects.

Built for Professional Use

The robust metal housing is sealed against dust and moisture for confident use in challenging environments. Sharing the same dimensions and filter size as the rest of the APO-Summicron-SL family, it integrates seamlessly into an SL-System kit.
