In 1974 when the Leica R system was rapidly expanding to meet the Japanese challenge (with zoom lenses and exotic lenses) Leica introduced this fisheye lens, which was identical to the Minolta version. It is a so-called full-frame fisheye lens covering the full 24 x 36 mm format. The coverage is 180 degrees diagonally over the format diagonal, but horizontally the angle of view is 137 degrees vertically it is only 86 degrees. Contrary to most classical fish-eye lenses that produce a circular image, this design fills the standard 35 mm format in using a special geometrical projection to map a circular image into a rectangular shape. The Fisheye-Elmarit-R has been in the catalogues for some 25 years, suggesting that the last batches sold very slowly, reflecting the diminished popularity of this type of pictures. The fisheye design has in itself a limited scope for improvement. The ROM-version is a Leica conversion from available stock of Minolta manufactured parts. The performance of the lens in itself is quite good and the fish-eye look has still some strong adherents. The last allocated batch is from 1980! The total amount of lenses sold is about 4000, mostly in the first years after its introduction.
