Leica Fisheye Lens 15mm f/2.8 ASPH Super-Elmarit-R Description

• This Schneider-developed successor lens to the Super-Elmar-R 15mm f/3.5 was introduced in November 2001.
• It is 1/2 stop faster compared to the earlier Zeiss-developed lens, and also more compact and lighter.
• Like its predecessor it has a built-in filter turret (NDx1 neutral density filter, KB12 blue color correction, yellow green filter, orange filter).
• The length remains constant thanks to the internal focusing mechanism.
• The lens has 13 elements in 10 groups.
• It builds upon the already high quality of its predecessor.
• The highest optical performance is obtained thanks to the use of aspherical lens elements and low dispersion glass.
• Other optical characteristics include very low distortion, very low vignetting for an extreme wide angle lens, and low curvature of field.
• As a result of the extremely large angle of view (110?) and the characteristic perspective rendition, the new Leica Super-Elmarit-R is particularly well suited for landscape and architectural photography, as well as for reproducing any wide angle close focusing situation.
• The very short close focusing distances of only 18 cm also provides for realistic portrayal of small models.
• It weighs 710 gr.
