PRODUCT INFORMATION
LEICA ELMARIT-M f/2.8 28 mm ASPH
This new high-speed
lens is the most compact of Leica M lenses.
By using an aspherical element it was possible to attain top imaging performance with a weight of only 180 grams.
This lens is practically distortion-free down to the close focus range of 0.7 m and only protrudes slightly into the viewfinder field of M cameras.
Used on the digital M8, it produces the effect of a 35mm lens which makes it ideal for reportage. Due to its attractive price it can be particularly recommended as an introduction to the high-quality range of Leica M lenses.
A new version of this classic standard wide-angle lens, especially designed for the new Leica M8: Delivering very good imaging performance at full aperture.
