Leica Vario-Elmar-SL 100-400mm F5-6.3 lens

The Leica Vario-Elmar-SL 100-400mm f/5-6.3 is a telephoto zoom lens for L-Mount compatible cameras such as the Leica SL2-S and Panasonic S5. The focal length is very popular for nature, bird and sports photography, for example.

The Leica 100-400mm is a lens made in collaboration with a manufacturing partner. As a result, the country of manufacture is Japan instead of Germany. However, the quality control, manufacturing tolerances and performance are strictly defined and monitored by Leica. This is noticeable when handling the lens, meaning the quality feel is the same.

The lens has a close focus distance of 1.1 meters, which makes it easy to capture even the smallest subjects in detail. The lens weighs about 1.5 kg and has a stabilizer, so you can also shoot handheld, but the lens comes with a rotating and detachable tripod collar. The tripod collar can be rotated in 90-degree increments, which makes vertical shooting with a monopod, for example, easy. The tripod collar is also directly Arca-Swiss compatible , so you don't necessarily need a quick release plate at all, the lens attaches directly and securely to the tripod head.

The lens is splash and dust resistant, making it suitable for even the most challenging shooting conditions. The outer lens surface contains an AquaDura coating that repels dirt and makes cleaning easier.

The lens is compatible with the Extender L 1.4x telephoto lens, which converts the lens to a 140-560mm F7.1-9 equivalent.
