Elmarit-M 28mm f2.8 ASPH. Leica product code 11677. Introduced in 2016, this is the current version of the Elmarit-M 28mm. Weighing just 195g with its dedicated 12470 hood attached, it is remarkably lightweight and compact. The minimum focusing distance is 0.7m, and the filter size is E39.

This wide-angle lens features 8 elements in 6 groups, including one aspherical element. The 28mm focal length is a classic choice for street photography and travel. Combined with its compact size and light weight, it is an exceptionally practical lens. Even near maximum aperture, it delivers sharp, highly detailed images with pleasing rendering, accompanied by some vignetting toward the corners.

Its specifications may seem modest, but this is a current Leica lens that we can confidently recommend to anyone who enjoys photography in the classic Leica style!

There are no signs of use, and the lens is literally in like-new condition. Even the edges of the dedicated rectangular hood, where paint loss is often seen, remain beautifully black. This is a lens well worth considering for anyone thinking of buying a brand-new example.

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

The glass is beautifully clear, with no haze or cleaning marks.

Comes complete with a Marumi protective filter, hood, hood cap, dedicated front cap, rear cap, front ring, leather case, instruction manual, and original box.
