Leica Elmarit R 35mm f/2 3 cam lens. I've had several versions of this lens over the last 30 years and they were all stellar performers. This last version with the built-in lens hood is the sharpest of all. I use it for my standard lens. It's rendering is almost 3 dimensional! The colors are true to life. I love it!
Excellent Still expensive for a used lens (All ROM R lenses are unfortunately). These lenses have not got the latest coating and are subject to more flare than current lenses (even far cheaper ones).
Great lens Vintage lens but is optically beautiful!
