35 APO-Summicron-SL f2 ASPH
The new 35 APO-Summicron-SL f2 ASPH prime lens delivers extremely high imaging performance at its largest aperture, ideal for photography in any difficult lighting conditions. Further rounding out its creative photographic qualities, images from the lens exhibit natural skin tones, beautiful bokeh, outstanding contrast and corner-to-corner sharpness for a distortion-free image.
The optical formula for the 35 Summicron-SL f2 ASPH lens achieves this level of image quality through its design of 13 lens elements, 5 of which are aspherical, in 11 groups, with apochromatic correctioned optics. All of these technical qualities combined with its rugged metal construction, weather sealing against dust and spray water, Aquadura water-resistant exterior glass coatings and a fast Dual Synchro Drive autofocus, leads to an amazingly capable pro-grade tool for all types of photography.
