The angle of view of the Leica Elmarit-S 30 mm f/2.8 ASPH corresponds to that of a 24 mm lens in 35 mm format and opens up new creative horizons in image composition. Unsurpassed excellence in colour and contrast rendition, the highest resolution and almost complete freedom from distortion guarantee perfect images at all apertures and throughout the entire focusing range.
Optical design comprises 13 elements in nine groups
Five elements are lenses with anomalous partial dispersion
Three low-dispersion fluoride elements correct chromatic aberrations
Three elements with a particularly high refractive index and two aspherical elements minimise monochromatic aberration.
