From Leica:

> Although macro and portrait photography are two different worlds, they have one thing in common: the familiar suddenly appears in a new light. The APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL 100 f/2.8 lens bridges these two worlds, allowing each to unfold to its full potential. With a reproduction ratio of 1:1, this L-Mount lens captures fine patterns and surfaces with complete sharpness and minute detail. Apochromatic correction consistently eliminates chromatic aberrations to produce sharp contrast edges and the high-quality images typical of Leica.
