This lens lets you do much more than just make small things bigger. Not limited to beautiful soft focusing, it lets you bring the entire frame - from corner to corner - into sharp focus. This gives you the freedom to create a wide variety of compositions, from landscapes to portraits. The inner focus system ensures excellent results, making this lens a true all-round performer.
The LEICA DG MACRO-ELMARIT 45mm / F2.8 ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S. boasts a superb image quality with minimum distortion, chromatic aberrations as well as ghosts and flares that passes a stringent Leica standard to goes beyond their expectations. This lens system uses both an aspherical lens and an ED lens in its 14 lenses in 10 groups to realize outstanding compactness, taking advantage of the Micro Four Thirds standard to achieve dramatic downsizing while minimizing distortion and chromatic aberration.
It incorporates an inner focus direct-drive linear motor with 3 groups of floating structure for focusing, which enables excellent resolution and contrast without changing its overall length from full life-size magnification to infinity. The inclusion of stepping motor makes the focusing action smooth and quiet* for use in both photo and movie recording (* Some noise may be recorded in motion picture mode, subject to recording environment). The closest focusing distance can be instantly changed to 15 cm or 50 cm (0.5 ft to 1.64 ft) with the switch on the lens barrel according to the shooting opportunity.
Seven blades give the aperture a rounded shape that produces an attractively smooth effect in out-of-focus areas when shooting at larger aperture settings. The LEICA DG MACRO-ELMARIT 45mm / F2.8 ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S. lens also features a highly reliable metal mount, and uses multi-coated lens elements that minimize ghosts and flare to further enhance its optical performance.
