Press Release:
New Compact Leica Elmar-M 24 MM F / 3.8 ASPH Lens
Leica continues its strategy of producing a range of ultra compact high performance prime lenses.
Ideal
for M8 users, this lens is equally at home with M film models. At full
aperture, Contrast and detail rendering are excellent. Stopping down to
medium f values gives such great Depth of field, that precise focusing
is not required resulting in your M combination outperforming any
camera with auto focus in the speed stakes.
Additionally,
the new LEICA ELMAR-M 24 mm f / 3.8 ASPH lens is a perfect companion to
a faster lens, particularly for day time travel or photography in risk
environments. All focal lengths detailed above are based on 35 mm film
camera photography. For use on M8/M8.2 camera bodies, all focal lengths
should be multiplied by 1.33.
Available from November 2008, the LEICA ELMAR-M 24 mm f / 3.8 ASPH lens is £1380 (inc
VAT) SRP
