Leica M-28Mm F/2.8 Elmarit Asph., Black

Use this gem of a lens daily. So tiny and fits perfectly on a Leica M body. Image quality is great, doesn't have the magic of a Summilux but still tip top for what it is.

I am using this lens with film--I cant comment on how it goes with digital cameras. Very sharp, consistent lens at all apertures and across the field of view. Quite smooth continuum between in-focus and OOF areas--if youre obsessed with bokeh this might not be the lens you want, though its there on a relatively subtle level. I dont generally splurge on Leica lenses but I do think this one is significantly better than any cheaper options at this focal length. The attached was taken on TMax 100 on a gloomy day with the aperture wide open.

The Leica Elmarit-M 28mm f/2.8 ASPH. lens improves on the image quality and design of its predecessor.

Good Points: A well built and optically superb 28mm lens for the Leica M system. It is small and light - ideal when carrying a camera bag for long periods. It represents value for money. Improvement Points: There's nothing to dislike about this lens.

Good Points: It’s an incredibly sharp lens with no distortion. Really compact and does not interfere with the rangefinder viewer at. My first Leica lens - well chuffed !
