Leica Vario-Elmar-R 70-210mm f/4 - Leica R Mount

The Leica Vario-Elmar-R 70-210mm f/4 is a versatile telephoto zoom lens for the Leica R SLR system. It features a constant f/4 maximum aperture throughout the focal range, providing consistent exposure and depth-of-field control. The lens uses a one-touch design where a single ring controls both zoom and focus, making it relatively quick to handle for a manual lens. On the used market, ensure the push-pull zoom mechanism is smooth and does not suffer from excessive 'zoom creep' when held vertically. We inspect the internal optics for haze or fungus, which can occur in older zoom designs. The built-in sliding lens hood should move freely and stay in place when extended.
