Leica Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm f/2.8 - Leica R Mount

The Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm f/2.8 is a versatile standard macro lens for the Leica R system, offering a 1:2 magnification ratio natively. It is renowned for its exceptional sharpness across the frame and flat field of focus, making it suitable for both close-up work and general-purpose photography. The lens features a robust all-metal construction and a long focus throw for precise manual adjustments. When purchasing a used example, inspect the internal elements for haze or fungal growth, which can occasionally occur in older Leica optics. The focus movement should be smooth and consistent without tight spots; SDS verifies the mechanical integrity of the helicoid. We also check for oil on the aperture blades and ensure the built-in extendable lens hood remains secure.
