Leica Apo Elmar-S 180mm F/3.5 CS
CUTTING THE DISTANCE
The exceptional speed and
high performance of the Leica Apo Elmar-S 180 mm f/3.5 sets new standards of
quality for handheld telephoto photography, because the contrast performance of
this lens is exceptional in both its excellence and consistency. The lens, also
available with a central shutter, is ideal for capturing subjects at greater
distances and is simultaneously an excellent portrait lens. Its excellent sharpness
is guaranteed at all distances and apertures – even wide open at its
close-focusing limit of 1.5 metres.
CONSTRUCTIONAL DETAILS
The apochromatically
corrected Leica Apo-Elmar-S 180 mm f/3.5 features nine lens elements in seven
groups. Six elements are made from glasses with anomalous partial dispersion,
and two of these have particularly low dispersion. This ensures optimum
elimination of chromatic aberrations. In addition, three elements made of glass
with a high refractive index almost fully eliminate monochromatic aberrations.
