Leica Elmarit-R 19mm f/2.8 (11258) - with 12546 Rectangular Lens Hood & Cap Camera lens

This barely used and like-new Leica Elmarit-R 19 mm Version II (number 11258) comes complete with hood (number 12546), leather case and original papers and box. Also compatible with adapters for L-mount and M. This is especially ideal for use on the Leica Monochrom due to the built-in four-filter revolver – including orange and yellow/green.
The focusing operates smoothly, with the handy lens not changing in length. Optically a marvel of engineering and progressiveness – this Mandler design features a floating element – and a big leap forward compared to the bulky Version I. The minimum focusing distance is only thirty centimeters.
Naturally, this sought-after lens is in demand among collectors and users. The latter also say that they own an heirloom, whereby the 19 mm focal length opens up photographically interesting avenues for landscape, architecture and reportage for those who dare to venture. With serial number 3503653 this lens dates from 1990, the first year of production.
