Leitz Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm f/2.8 3-Cam Made in Germany – Japan Welcome

LEITZ MACRO-ELMARIT-R 60mm f/2.8 — 3-CAM — LEITZ LEATHER CASE
The reference macro lens for the Leica R system — exceptional on mirrorless.

LENS — Leitz Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm f/2.8 / Serial #2984246

Condition: Excellent
3-Cam version — Made in Germany.

The Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm f/2.8 is widely regarded as one of the finest
macro lenses ever produced — surgical sharpness, exceptional micro-contrast,
and an all-metal "tank" build that defines the Leica R system.
Equally outstanding for macro photography and portrait work.

OPTICS
- Glass: Good condition. No fungus, no major scratches.
- Light internal dust particles — zero impact on image quality.

MECHANICS
- Focus ring: Smooth and precise throughout the long helicoid travel - characteristic of the macro design.
- Aperture: Responsive, clean blades.
- All functions fully operational.

COSMETIC
- Normal professional use marks on barrel — paint patina, light handling marks. No impacts, no dents.
- 3-Cam version: maximum compatibility with all Leica R bodies.

CASE
- Leather case included — not the original Leitz case for this lens, but suitable for transport and protection.

MIRRORLESS COMPATIBILITY
