Leica 28mm f2.8 ASPH (E39) Lens Overview
The ideal introduction
This new high-speed lens is the most compact of Leica M lenses. By using an aspherical element it was possible to attain top imaging performance with a weight of only 180 grams. This lens is practically distortion-free down to the close focus range of 0.7 m and only protrudes slightly into the viewfinder field of M cameras. Used on the digital M8, it produces the effect of a 35mm lens which makes it ideal for reportage. Due to its attractive price it can be particularly recommended as an introduction to the high-quality range of Leica M lenses. (The LEICA ELMARIT-M 28mm f/2.8 ASPH. will be available from the end of October 2006 on.)
