Ideal for street photography
The most compact lens in the entire portfolio of M-Lenses, making it ideal for street, reportage and travel photographers
Optimized for digital photography with its reduced image field curvature, creating virtually distortion free wide-angle pictures
UNBELIEVABLY POWERFUL
A brilliant lens
The Elmarit-M 28 mm f/2.8 ASPH. is the most compact lens in the entire portfolio of Leica M-Lenses. This is made possible by the use of an aspherical lens element, which enables particularly compact lens construction and a weight of only 180 grams. This makes the Elmarit-M a firm favourite with street and reportage photographers. Every scene can be composed to perfection thanks to a rectangular, full-metal lens hood with a screw mount that can be replaced by a screw-in protector ring when not in use.
Technical details

The Elmarit-M 28 mm f/2.8 ASPH.is practically distortion-free from infinity to its closest focusing distance of 0.7 metres, and provides an exceptionally clear view through the viewfinder of M cameras.
