The “analog” digital lens
The LEICA D VARIO-ELMARIT 14-50 mm
f/2.8-3.5 ASPH. consists of 16 elements
in 12 groups, including two aspherical
lenses. This digital lens offers character-
istics for which Leica‘s analog inter-
changeable lenses have already received
multiple awards : minute details and nu-
ances are reproduced clearly, and even
with very short focal lengths distortion
and vignetting are minimal. Realistic
color reproduction, in particular also for
skin tones, ensures harmonious natural
images. With the LEICA D VARIO-ELMARIT
14-50 mm f/2.8-3.5 ASPH. and its wide
aperture number of f/2.8 and attractive
focal length range of 28-100 mm (equiva-
lent to 35 mm format) the scope for
creativity is virtually unlimited.
Razor-sharp images
A true premiere : For the first time
Leica is offering an interchangeable lens
combining first-class optical imaging
performance with the latest optical
image stabilization. It‘s in your hands : If
you want to avoid picture shake, you can
switch on the image stabilizer (O.I.S.)
at any time. It is incorporated in the
lens, prevents blurred images and offers
reliability in all situations – at twilight,
indoors or in the zoom range. You can
always rely on the image stabilizer even
when using a tripod.
Familiar handling
The LEICA DIGILUX 3 has many features
that are very familiar to users from
Leica‘s analog cameras and have proved
their worth time and time again. The
aperture, focal length and focusing are
adjusted at the lens as usual. The Leica D
system stands for familiar handling com-
bined with innovative technology, thus
clearly distancing itself from the mass
of single-lens reflex cameras.
