my point of view

Consistently smooth focusing –

whatever the temperature

The mechanics for the Ultravid HD focusing have

been further refined. As a result, focusing is even

smoother and remains free of play across the entire

range. Optimized material pairings and gliding discs

made from extremely tough, high-performance plas-

tic are used. In cold conditions, the conventional

greased focusing mechanisms sometimes only work

with difficulty, and at higher temperatures they move

too freely. Furthermore, these focusing mechanisms

can feel “sticky”, and at higher temperatures there is

even the danger that grease can escape and run on

the lens. With the optimized Leica focus, these risks

have been eliminated. In the new Ultravid HD models,

it works practically without any lubricants. So even in

extreme temperatures, it is always fully functional –

with a constantly optimum degree of smoothness.
