Overview

The Leica Super-Elmar-S 24mm f/3.5 ASPH is the widest and fastest medium-format lens available, offering a 19mm equivalent field of view. Optically, it delivers strong contrast, high resolution, and minimal distortion. Build quality is exceptional with an all-metal body, no play, and non-rotating front element. Its main weakness is size and weight (1,260g, 95mm filter thread), but this is expected for its speed and class. It suits professional and advanced amateur photographers needing a wide, fast lens for architecture, interiors, or landscape work.
