Leica 24mm Elmarit-R f/2.8

MSRP: $

Description: At first glance, photographs taken with this lens do not look like superwide-angle pictures. However they are very impressive because of their unusual perspective. In the close-up range, this lens makes unusual images possible because it sets the main subject off in an interesting manner in relation to its surroundings.

Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $1000.00 from The Classic Camera L

Summary:
This is a much maligned lens among Leica users. Evidentally a Minolta design from the 1970's. All I can say is that Minolta 70's design combined with Leica quality control really rocks! I purchased this as "as new" secondhand at a much lower price than a new lens. I cannot understand why the previous owner parted with it other than needing the money.

Strengths:
Contrast and colour rendition. Flare resistance in the light. Compact. Good Bokeh

Weaknesses:
Have not found any yet.

Similar Products Used:
28mm F2.0 Asph M series.

Customer Service:
A phone call usually settles most issues, in GB at least.
