Leica Elmarit-R 19mm f/2.8 (II)

A very nice lens to own Had this lens for a while, and loved it (the version II). For video this lens can provide a great angle to be close to characters and still show the surroundings. The lens itself has a beautiful vibe. Really nice. It seems the value keeps moving up. They really start to be collectors items. If you plan to use it for video, I would think about it twice before doing any modification on the lens, in case you wanna sell it back in the future. Still photographer are a big part of the market for those.

The best wide angle 19mm lens on the world!! This is the one of the best two wide angle lens I ever used, the other one is leica M 21mm/2.8 ASPH. It totally beats the Nikon 20mm/2.8, 24mm/2.8, 17-35mm/2.8. The only thing for me, a 7 year Leica M user, is the size still a little bigger. But that is Leica R system after all. If your are a Leica R user, this is the lens you can't miss!!

Great box!!!! Needed a genuine Leica box for my lens. Expensive, but worth it....
