Leica Elmarit 28mm f/2.8 (II)

Excellent Leica M Wide Angle Lens - Does Not Disappoint! This Leica M 28mm f/2.8 Asph MF lens is super sharp, excellent contrast and color, light weight, and easy to focus with the small lens hood. This lens will exceed your expectations for landscape, travel, photojournalism and street photography. This lens is razor sharp from f/2.8 and gets even better down to f/8. Even at f/11 to f/16 this lens does excellent. I have found there is no issue with flare, coma, no visible distortion and very minimal vignetting. It is almost as good at the Leica M 28mm f/2.0 Summicron but at half the price. If you find your needing a wide angle for the aforementioned types of photography, this lens will not disappoint you in the least.

Perfect addition to the 50 cron This is true Leica product - compact, sharp and well built. 28 mm makes it compatible with the viewfinder lines on M9, compact size makes it perfect travel companion, and optical characteristics leave no upside potential for other comparable lenses. And 2.8 is more than enough for digital m9. Highly recommended if you look for a wide angle addition to your base 50 mm lens. I would only trought away the huge lens hood, it kills the whole idea of having compact professional system

Sharp and compact Extremely sharp (except the extreme corners wide open) at all apertures and very compact. Without the lens hood, this lens makes the Leica M fit in most jacket pockets
