Leica APO-Macro-Elmarit-R 100mm f/2.8 – Macro lens for Leica R

The Leica APO-Macro-Elmarit-R 100mm f/2.8 is one of the finest macro lenses ever produced by Leica for the R system. Designed and manufactured in Germany, it is prized for its extraordinary apochromatic correction, exceptional sharpness—even at maximum aperture—and highly faithful color rendering; these qualities have made it a benchmark for both macro photography and high-end portraiture.

The unit offered here is in excellent cosmetic and functional condition. The lens barrel retains a uniform finish with only very minor signs of use consistent with careful handling, while the focus and aperture rings operate smoothly and precisely, delivering the mechanical quality typical of Leica products.

The glass elements are clean and clear, showing no obvious scratches, fungus, or hazing. The Leica R mount is in excellent condition, ensuring a secure and proper fit with the camera body.

The lens features a built-in telescopic lens hood—an elegant, practical solution that saves space during transport—and comes with the original Leica front and rear caps.

With a minimum focusing distance of 0.7 meters, the Macro-Elmarit-R achieves a 1:2 reproduction ratio, which can be extended to 1:1 using the dedicated Leica accessory. The 100mm focal length also provides pleasing perspective compression and soft, natural bokeh, making it an extremely versatile lens for portraiture and detail photography as well. Key features
