LEICA
Tri-Elmar-M 28-35-50mm f/4 ASPH (LE2835504MB)
With the versatile Tri-Elmar-M, Leica combines the M-photographer’s three most popular focal
lengths, 28, 35 and 50mm, into a single, extremely compact lens—while retaining the high optical
performance typical of Leica. Completely redesigned and more reliable and easier to use than ever.
A shaped handle on the distance setting ring makes focusing easier and a scale on the lens displays
the depth of field for all three focal lengths. Filter diameter is reduced is only 49mm for a better
viewfinder image. The optimized zoom ring engages audibly and tangibly at every focal length
now, thus preventing accidental readjustment of the focal length. A metal lens hood is available as
an accessory that does not obstruct the viewfinder image. Using an adapter, a 67mm circular
polarizer can be used that is set directly through the viewfinder. A matching 49mm UVA “slim
filter” that prevents vignetting at 28mm is also available.
High Optical Performance:
Designed and manufactured in Germany, the lens comprises 8 lenses in 6 groups. In order to guarantee maximum optical performance
for such a
compact lens, two aspherical lenses were used. Furthermore, 5 lenses in the complex optical system are made of especially high refracting glass. The
lens is characterized by good to very good performance at all three focal lengths. Even when completely open, a high-contrast image with good
detail resolution is achieved. The contrast can even be increased by stopping down at f/5.6. Because the performance is already g
ood with maximum
opening, the critical f-stop with this lens is between f-stop 5.6 and 8. At all three focal lengths, field curvature has been redu
ced to a minimum so
that it is not visible in practice. At 35mm and 50mm, vignetting is similarly low to that of the Leica M fixed focal lengths. Only
at 28mm is
vignetting slightly stronger. Above f/8 all three focal lengths of the lens are free of artificial vignetting .....................
