Leica 15mm f/2.8 Aspherical Super-Elmarit-R R-System Super Wide-Angle Lens with ROM Contacts (Built-in Filter)
The 15mm Super-Elmarit-R ASPH replaces the previous 15mm f/3.5 Super-Elmar-R. This lens, incorporating low-dispersion glass, an aspherical lens surface and internal focussing, made for Leica by Schneider. This lens incorporates ROM electronic contacts and is not be usable on the Leicaflex, Leicaflex SL, or Leicaflex SL2 . Like its predecessor, the Super-Elmarit-R has built-in filters: NDx1, yellow green YG, orange OR and blue color-correction filter KB12. This lens demonstrates improved field flatness over the discontinued Zeiss lens, as well as remarkably low vignetting and distortion for a lens of this wide an angle. One weakness of the Zeiss lens is in its flare control. This Super-Elmarit-R is much better in this respect. According to Leica, this lens shows excellent detail rendition into the corners at normal focus distances even at full aperture, and only in the close range will coma and field curvature degrade the image at the widest apertures. Vignetting results in about a 1.3-stop darkening of the corners at f/8, and linear distortion, at 2%, is half that of the predecessor Super-Elmar-R.
