Leica has released its 120mm f/2.5 lens to be used with its flagship S2 medium format camera. The Leica APO-MACRO-SUMMARIT-S 120 mm/f2.5 portrait lens is the fourth lens to be available for the 37.5 megapixels portable mastodon — the 35mm f/2.5, 70mm f/2.5 and 180mm f/3.5 were already available.
The new lens has been designed for portraits, beauty, product and macro photography, says Leica, and is the first “fast macro-telephoto lens with superior imaging quality in the Leica S-System line-up.”
It is composed of nine elements in seven groups, including three elements with anomalous partial dispersion – “two of which are highest-quality fluoride lenses for the correction of chromatic aberration.” The lens is also dust and splash-proofed, says Leica.
The Leica S2 was first unveiled at Photokina in September 2008. At this year’s Photokina, starting Monday, September 20, Leica is expected to announce new products
