Consistently smooth focusing –
whatever the temperature
The mechanics for the Ultravid HD focusing have
been further refined. As a result, focusing is even
smoother and remains free of play across the entire
range. Optimized material pairings and gliding discs
made from extremely tough, high-performance plas-
tic are used. In cold conditions, the conventional
greased focusing mechanisms sometimes only work
with difficulty, and at higher temperatures they move
too freely. Furthermore, these focusing mechanisms
can feel “sticky”, and at higher temperatures there is
even the danger that grease can escape and run on
the lens. With the optimized Leica focus, these risks
have been eliminated. In the new Ultravid HD models,
it works practically without any lubricants. So even in
extreme temperatures, it is always fully functional –
with a constantly optimum degree of smoothness.
