Recognized for its compact and unassuming design, the Leica Elmarit-M 28mm f/2.8 ASPH. is a slender wide-angle prime lens ideal for everyday street photography. Its optical configuration is comprised of eight elements in six groups, including an aspherical component to reduce spherical aberrations for consistently sharp and clear imagery across all aperture and focus settings. In addition, the manual focus mechanism provides precise control when capturing photos, and its minimal 1-inch length profile provides an unobstructed view in the rangefinder of M-series cameras, allowing for unimpeded composition.

The Leica Elmarit-M 28mm f/2.8 ASPH. is a compact and high-performance prime lens designed for Leica M-mount cameras. It features an aspherical element to reduce optical aberrations and deliver sharp, high-contrast images.

The Leica Elmarit-M 28mm f/2.8 ASPH. is a **prime**, **wide-angle** lens built natively for the **Leica M mount**, designed around **full-frame** mirrorless rangefinder cameras. Its **28mm** fixed focal length and **f/2.8** maximum aperture make it a straightforward, capable choice for photographers who want a compact wide-angle option in the M system. Weighing just **180g**, it adds minimal bulk to any M-body pairing, and the **39mm** filter thread keeps accessories compact and in keeping with the lens's slim profile. Focus is entirely **manual**, with no autofocus mechanism — a natural fit for the deliberate, tactile shooting style that Leica M cameras encourage. There is **no image stabilization**, so steady technique or appropriate shutter speed selection is required. Whether used for street photography, travel, or documentary work, this lens delivers a no-frills, purpose-built wide-angle option for serious Leica M shooters.

A fixed 28mm focal length covers a natural wide-angle field of view well suited to street, documentary, and travel photography.
