Featuring 8 lens elements in 6 groups including 4 aspherical lenses, LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens offers a large aperture of F2.0 at 24 mm wide angle that is very helpful when shooting at higher shutter speeds in low-lit situations or for giving backgrounds a gentle soft-focus. And it provides a focal length of 24mm to 60 mm (35mm equivalent). From expansive wide-angle shooting to telephoto shots, the crystal-clear rendering and rich gradation of this lens express extremely fine details and nuances.
The newly developed 1/1.63" CCD helps capture beautiful images with outstanding dynamic range and minimal noise. By optimizing the use of space within individual photocells to allow larger photodiodes, and by purposely keeping pixel resolution at 10.1-megapixel to allow more light to enter each photocell, the CCD has exceptional sensitivity and saturation performance. Combined with re-engineered circuitry around the sensor for more stabled signal outputs, LX3 can faithfully reproduce colors even in high contrast or low-lit situations.
