Here we have a Leica Leitz Wetzlar 28mm F/2.8 Elmarit R mount wide angle fast prime lens for Leica R mount SLR cameras. This lens comes with its original Leica lens hood, BW UV filter, and rear lens cap.

The lens is in great condition and is functionally perfect. The glass elements are clean and clear, and free of fungus, haze, balsam separation, scratches, and cleaning marks. The optical coatings are pristine. The aperture blades are free of oil. Mount is pristine. Filter threads have no marring or damage, the aperture ring clicks with mechanical precision, and the focus action works perfectly.

This lens is an amazing optic and can make incredible images. For a full review with many sample shots made with this lens, see my review here.

Capable of extremely sharp images, this lens is a solid performer that's perfect for an incredible variety of photography styles. From landscapes to family photos, street photography to long-exposures, this lens is capable of all the usual photographic pursuits. Its relatively quick aperture allows solid low-light performance.

This is the two cam version of the Lemarit R 28mm, which means that it will work perfectly on Leicaflex, Leicaflex SL and Leicaflex SL2 cameras, and it will also work perfectly in stop-down metering mode on Leica R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7 cameras. It is not recommended to use this on the later R8 and R9. Additionally it will mount to mirror-less cameras through the use of readily available adapters. If you need help determining which adapter will work for your camera, just ask!

The lens will be shipped immediately and packaged securely to ensure safe delivery.
