Leica wide-angle lens: Elmarit-M 24mm f/2.8 ASPH. in black. Leica M mount. Product code: 11878. Introduced in 1996. This particular lens was manufactured in the first year of production, with a serial number in the 3.77 million range.
It features a 5-group, 7-element construction with one aspherical element. The minimum focusing distance is 70 cm. Filter size is E55. The actual measured weight is 277g. In comparison, the later Summilux-M 24mm f/1.4 weighs nearly twice as much, making the Elmarit a more practical choice for portability.
The slightly wider focal length than 28mm offers excellent usability. As a testament to its versatility, the wide end of the standard zoom lens for the Leica SL series—the Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm f/2.8-4—also adopts the 24mm focal length.
In like-new condition with no signs of use.
All functions operate properly, and rangefinder coupling is spot on.
The glass is clean and clear, with no noticeable cleaning marks or haze.
Comes with a genuine front cap, a third-party protective filter, and a rear cap.
