About this unit

The Leica 180mm f/3.5 APO-Tele-Elmar-S [11071] is a high-quality telephoto lens designed for the Leica S medium format system, characterized by its apochromatic construction that minimizes chromatic aberrations and delivers exceptional sharpness across the entire frame. Its maximum aperture of f/3.5 allows precise control over depth of field, making it ideal for portraits with softly blurred backgrounds. Crafted to Leica's most demanding optical standards, this lens is a key piece for photographers seeking maximum resolution in a compact telephoto lens for their medium format camera.

Key Features

Focal length of 180 mm, equivalent to approximately 144 mm in 35 mm format (based on the Leica S system crop factor).
Maximum aperture of f/3.5 and minimum of f/32, with 9 diaphragm blades for smooth bokeh.
Apochromatic (APO) optical construction with low-dispersion glass elements to correct chromatic aberrations.
Leica S mount, compatible with all Leica S series cameras (S2, S3, S006, S007, etc.).
Manual focus with a precise control ring and a minimum focusing distance of approximately 1.5 meters.
Filter diameter of 72 mm and built-in lens hood to reduce flare.

Ideal for

Perfect for portrait, fashion, and studio photographers working with the Leica S system who value maximum sharpness and chromatic correction in a telephoto lens. It is also an excellent choice for nature and landscape photography where medium reach with high optical quality is required.

· Frequently asked questions ·

What condition is the camera in?

Every camera that leaves Camera Market goes through a 28-point inspection protocol: shutter condition, autofocus accuracy, sensor integrity, seal tightness, electronic viewfinder calibration, original battery health, and eight further tests on connectivity and firmware.

The specific cosmetic condition (marks, scratches, signs of use) is documented in the actual photographs and in the technical table on the product page. We do not use catalogue images.

What is included in the purchase?

You receive the Leica 180mm f/3.5 APO-Tele-Elmar-S [11071] body with its original NP-FZ100 battery, BC-QZ1 charger, LEICA shoulder strap, original box and printed manual. The 28-point inspection and the 6-month warranty are included in the price.

SD card not included. If you need additional accessories, browse our accessory selection.

What warranty does it have?

All cameras include 6 months of free warranty covering functional defects and technical failures.

You can extend the coverage from the warranty section on this same page:

12 months for CHF 245.30 · single payment
24 months for CHF 461.57 · single payment · recommended

We also offer 14-day returns with no questions asked. If you are not satisfied, full refund.

How long does shipping take?

Standard shipping to the EU in 4–5 business days with tracking number. For mainland Spain, express 24–48 h option available at checkout.

Technical packaging with custom-cut foam and tamper-evident seals. Transit insurance included.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Yes, without reservation. It has full automatic modes and eye-detection autofocus that works practically by itself, so you can start taking professional photos from day one.

When you grow, the manual controls and customisation curve are exactly what you would expect from a professional body. It is a camera you can learn with for years.

Why buy refurbished?

For three honest reasons: price (between 20 and 40% below new on high-end models), sustainability (keeping a body in circulation avoids manufacturing a new one and all its waste), and transparency: every unit has its own serial number, visible shutter count and inspection date.

Market depreciation does not affect optical or electronic performance. A Leica 180mm f/3.5 APO-Tele-Elmar-S [11071] with 12,000 shots takes exactly the same photos as one with 0.
