Leica 28-35-50 f/4 Tri-Elmar ASPH

The perfect M lens — for some people some of the time. Its a rather large lens for a rangefinder at almost 4 inches long and 7 ounces. And at f/4 maximum aperture its really a ‘sunlight only’ lens. But its quite sharp wide open (perhaps a bit sharper at f/5.6) and provides a one-lens solution that’s especially nice when traveling or out strolling about. It also is a great way to help decide which focal length is best for you.

This lens is 6-bit encoded.

Item Includes: Lens hood

Roger’s take: A compromise, but a superb compromise. In one lens you have my 3 favorite focal lengths, all quite sharp. It makes the ultimate travel companion for outdoor work: an M9 and one lens, there you go. I find myself using it all the time. But like all compromises you give up something too. Its a large lens, more SLR size than rangefinder size. And the max aperture at f/4 means depth of field may be more than you wanted and good light is a necessity. But when conditions are right, its great.
