ENGINEERING DRAWING
Illustration 1:2
The Leica Vario-Elmar-S 30–90 mm f/3.5–5.6 ASPH. combines the versatility of a zoom lens with the imaging
performance of equivalent primes. From the angles of view it translates to a 24 to 72 mm zoom in 35 mm format
– the versatility offered by this universal range of focal lengths, from an extreme wide-angle to a little longer than
a standard lens, makes it ideal for all manner of photographic needs. A particular advantage of this zoom is that
photographers have no need to fear a loss of quality in comparison with corresponding primes and must only accept
that the initial aperture is not quite as fast.
Its sophisticated optical design comprises 14 elements in four groups. Altogether nine elements are manufactured
from glasses with anomalous partial dispersion, and three of these are fluoride lenses with the particularly low
dispersion characteristics needed for the correction of chromatic aberrations. Monochromatic aberrations are
effectively minimised by the integration of three aspherical lens surfaces.
These constructional measures ensure that the Vario-Elmar-S 30–90 mm f/3.5–5.6 ASPH. can be used without
any reservations throughout the entire zoom range at all focusing distances and at maximum aperture, as stopping
down only minimally improves its already extraordinarily high imaging performance. At all focal lengths distortion
is extremely well controlled and vignetting effects imperceptible. The Vario-Elmar-S 30–90 mm f/3.5–5.6 ASPH.
delivers consistently dependable high performance and offers extreme flexibility and creative potential for a
multitude of photographic challenges.

MTF GRAPHS The MTF is indicated both at full aper ture and at f/5.6 and f/8 at long taking distances (infinity).
Shown is the contrast in percentage for 5, 10, 20 and 40 lp/mm across the height of the
35 mm film format, for tangential (dotted line) and sagittal (solid line) structures, in white light.
The 5 and 10 lp/mm will give an indication regarding the contrast ratio for large object
structures. The 20 and 40 lp/mm records the resolution of finer and finest object structures.

Distortion is the deviation of the real image height (in the picture) from the ideal image height.
The relative distor tion is the percentage deviation. The ideal image height results from the
object height and the magnif ication. The image height of 27.04 mm is the radial distance
between the edge and the middle of the image field for the format 30 mm x 45 mm. The graph
of the effective distortion illustrates the appearance of straight horizontal and vertical lines in
the picture.
Vignetting is a continous decrease of the illumination to the edges of the image field. The graph
shows the percentage loss of illumination over the image height. 100% means no vignetting.
