Marco Cavina

Japanese manufacturers, in particular Olympus, proved that compact lens designs could deliver very satisfactory, even excellent performance. Leitz answered the call with the Elmarit-R 2.8/28mm, introduced at Photokina 1970, a very compact lens in a popular focal length.It is one of the lightest of R-lenses and with a very useful perspective for reportage, architectural photography and group portraits it would see a very long working life. This lens is of Wetzlar origin. During its long course of life (many Leica lenses stayed in the catalogues for twenty years and more), there have been some changes in balance between centre and edge performance. For really critical work, this lens should be used stopped down to middle apertures.
