NEW: Leica S lenses with central shutter

Posted by: Classic Connection

From October 2012 on Leica Camera will gradually expand the product range for the Leica S medium format system with five new central shutter lenses.

The new models are the Leica Elmarit-S 30 mm f/2.8 ASPH. and Leica Summarit-S 35 mm f/2.5 ASPH. wide-angle lenses, the Leica Summarit-S 70 mm f/2.5 ASPH. standard lens, the Leica APO-Macro-Summarit-S 120 mm f/2.5 tele-macro lens and the Leica APO-Tele-Elmar-S 180 mm f/3.5 telephoto lens, all of which will also be available in a CS version with a central shutter.

Designed and constructed exclusively by Leica, the central shutter available for all S lenses is not only especially compact and efficient, but also has a guaranteed service life of at least 100,000 shutter cycles, making it extremely reliable. First and foremost in the development of all products is the consistent dedication to creating tools to fulfil the stringent demands of professional users of the Leica S medium format system in their everyday photographic work.

The objective we pursue with the Leica S-System is to provide absolutely reliable equipment that guarantees extreme precision and a particularly long operational lifespan.
