Leica
A six-element macro lens produced from 1972 to 2009 for Leica's R-mount SLR system. It focuses down to 30cm for a 1:2 reproduction ratio natively, reaching 1:1 with a dedicated extension tube. The lens went through two main versions but kept the same optical formula throughout, and it earned a reputation for rendering that balanced clinical sharpness with smooth tonal transitions.
Know an artist who uses the Leica Leica Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm f/2.8?
