Al Green you will love it! it is in my opinion the best 28mm you can buy. its a german masterpiece! you will have a lot of fun! on every shoot i do i have it with me. its easely one of my favorit lenses! i hope you find one for a good price! good luck!
Senti mental i belief the slr lenses of leica are all called r lenses because of their mount which is called r mount. This lens was from a leicaflex camera. Thank you very much i enjoy this camera really much! Its awesome
doertepn - I see, so there is a misunderstanding here. I understood you meant „R only“ lens, which would mean that it could not use the meter on the earlier Leicaflexes, only the later cameras like R3, R4, R5 etc. - these were marked „R only“ on the barrel and lack the two cams for the older cameras. So yours should be either a so-called two- or three-cam lens.
strongly advise to watch it at x1.25
Just bought an SL2 and this lens and can't wait to try the combo, thanks for a great video
This is an awesome Combo! You will Love it. But it is quiet heavy. You will need a strap for Trips,... Have fun with this beast!
28mm is my favourite focal length - this lens is on my bucket list.

I have this lens. I simply love it!!
+tcdp and i know why! This 28mm really is second to non! Really incredible
Surprising, that this should be a R only with this early ser. no. From 1974, when there was no R3 I believe... nice camera btw.

Do you write the text, translate and talk at the same time ?
i have elmarit r 28/2,8 3cam and i have problem with leicaflex sl2. when i revind to next frame mirror go up. leicaflex only 2cam???
Is this a special edition lens? I see that it has the inscription of the Leitz Wetzlar
Not that i know of. But I am not certain
Mine has a stiff focusing ring. Any ideas on how to loosen it up without taking it apart? Thanks.
You can Put a Bit of weapon oil in the crease between the focusring. Then you have to Turn IT a Lot. But bei cearfull! Just a little Bit!
@@doertepn Thanks. I was thinking of something like that, but wasn't sure if it would leak through to the lens glass somewhere.
How does this compare to the M mount version? I'd like to put it on a Fuji X-Pro2.
Andy Wong they should both work great on fuji...
Wie teuer war das?
do you use the lens hood?
Yes of course.
Would this work well on a Sony body?
Manuel Jenkin it does indeed. I shoot it mainly on my sony a7. So yes its a great Performer on sony
With no autofocus
