Overview of Leica 24-90mm f/2.8-4 Vario-Elmarit-SL ASPH
The about $4950 Leica 24-90mm f/2.8-4 Vario-Elmarit-SL ASPH is a very high performance mid-range zoom. While its maximum aperture is reduced with zooming to f/4 at 90mm, this is an excellent compromise for size/weight/performance in most situations.
Manufacturer’s description

The Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24–90 mm f/2.8–4 ASPH. is very fast and offers a large range of focal lengths. A close focusing limit of 0.3 meters at its wide-angle setting and a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:3.8 at the telephoto end of the zoom range provide fascinating opportunities. Its optical image stabilization (OIS) compensates for up to 3.5 stops of camera shake.
