So useful for video This lens offers great amount of flexibility if you are shooting video Looks great if you are going for that look (like the other Leica r will have character and details, not as contrasty and sharp then modern lenses) Sometimes I wish of course that the lens would have a smaller aperture but cannot have everything. Also you have to consider the price. But all the Leica r prices are moving up. So just figure out your needs and if you go for it you will come to love it too
Focus movment had binding spot at certain distance. Appearance & description were somewhat misleading. There is binding spot on focusing.
Awesome! German lens are always better than Japanese lens! I decide to sell all my canon lens.The lens that I will be reviewing here is the Leitz (Leica) 90mm Elmarit-R f/2.8, which comes in 2 basic versions and was manufactured in Germany between 1964 and 1996. Used copies of this lens go for between $300 and $500 depending on the year and condition. My copy is the first version (2 cams) of the lens, and it was made in 1965 according to the serial number on the front of the barrel. It is a beautiful and solidly built lens with lovely optical qualities that make it a perfect standard portrait lens for FX format cameras or a somewhat long portrait lens on the DX format (approx. 135mm field of view for DX). It's also quite compact, being relatively short and slender for a fast 90mm lens. As far as quailty portrait lenses go, this is an inexpensive option for either format and one that I would definitely recommend, especially for anyone who appreciates old-world quality and craftsmanship and isn't too put off by the lack of autofocus.Read full review
