Like the Zeiss thread, it would be nice to see samples from all Leica R series lenses on this thread.
Please state the lense, aperture if possible and on which body.

I'll start.

Wide open or at f2.8, handheld. I don't know why I didn't use a tripod

The second, and especially third, photos show far more LoCA than I'd expect in an APO lens. Especially one with such ridiculous pricing. It's quite surprising, actually.

You are right but that is why I took photos in contre-jour to show in extreme conditions the behavior of the lens. Actually, the faces are in dark and processing to get them lighter increases Chromatic Aberrations... I feel them well controlled with this lens W.O. compared to other lenses I have tried before (Canon and Nikon).. At F:2.4, a lot of CA is nearly suppressed, not seen any more after F:2.8..

A7ii, Leica-R Elmarit 28 f2.8 v.II

This is a new lens for me, and I like it more than my other 28mm lenses--CY 28 f2.8 Distagon and Pentax K 28 f2.8. Sharpness is about equal or slightly better than the CY, but the Leica's colors and overall rendering are really special.

Photos taken in Death Valley, CA. with midday sun. Sorry for that, but I was traveling with my wife, and you know how that goes.

Thank you for sharing your first shots with the Leica Elmarit-R 28/2.8(II). Expensive but small and clever...

Yes, to all of those. I got mine for a very good price. It is in excellent condition, but the focusing ring is stiff, so I am sending it to Steve's Camera Service for CLA. The total end cost will still be less than typical selling prices that I have seen. But it will be worth it. The Elmarit is the first 28mm lens that inspires me to use it. The examples that I posted are nothing great, but I think that they show the lovely colors and rendering that have smitten me. I expect that I will be using my 35mm lens less in the coming days.

Rob

P.S. What does it mean for a lens to be "clever?"

I am a french froggy... "clever" because even when your picture seems bad, the results seems good...

It's a magic lens, very good in all fields, I can't do without it, it's my favourite focal length.. She's got brain for me, when I put my eye in the viewfinder, photographic composition becomes obvious...
