The Vario-Elmarit-SL 24–90 f/2.8–4 ASPH is very fast and offers a large range of focal lengths. A close focusing limit of 0.3 meters at its wide-angle setting and a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:3.8 at the telephoto end of the zoom range provides fascinating opportunities. Its optical image stabilization (OIS) compensates for up to 3.5 stops of camera shake.
