The built-in optical image stabilization (O.I.S.) guarantees crisp, blur-free images even at longer focal lengths or slower shutter speeds.

Built from solid metal and precisely engineered, the lens offers exceptional handling and durability while maintaining a weight of just 1540 g (without hood). With its E82 filter thread and L-Mount compatibility, it fits seamlessly into the professional Leica ecosystem.
