Elmarit-M 28mm f2.8 ASPH. The fifth generation of the Elmarit 28mm, featuring an aspherical element for the first time. Leica product code 11606. This is the model immediately preceding the current version, 11677, which features a screw-in lens hood.

Serial number in the 408xxxx range, manufactured in 2009. 6-bit coded. 8 elements in 6 groups. Minimum focusing distance is 0.7m. Weighing just 174g for the lens alone, it is wonderfully lightweight. A compact and lightweight wide-angle lens with a sufficiently bright maximum aperture. E39 filter size.

With its fine detail rendition, solid contrast, and versatile angle of view, this lens is ideal for everyday snapshots. It makes an excellent main lens, but is also a handy addition to any camera bag, ready whenever you need it.

There are extremely faint marks on the front edge of the lens barrel from attaching and removing the hood, but otherwise the lens is in excellent cosmetic condition with no signs of use. Its condition is a perfect match for a brand-new digital Leica M body.

All functions work properly, and the rangefinder coupling is spot on.

The glass is clear and bright, with no haze or cleaning marks. Test shots also produced excellent results.

Comes with the 12526 hood, 14043 hood cap, original Leica rear cap, and B+W UV filter. The hood has one very faint scuff mark.
