steinar_h Posted March 15, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted March 15, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) New member here! I bought a Leica R8 6 months ago and would like to buy a wideangle lens for it. I have looked at 19mm Elmarit ROM, but prices for a new one (on ebay) is too huge for me. Does anyone have an idea what I should expect to pay for one used, and where it would be possible to buy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted March 15, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted March 15, 2011 Welcome! A user grade one was offered on FM for 750$, There was one on GetDPI for 1700$ mint - I would say those are about the margins of the price range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyp Posted March 15, 2011 Share #4 Â Posted March 15, 2011 The one mentioned above is the 2nd version, a better lens than than the first version, and usually about a thousand more dollars. First version is Canadian made and has rather large front element, not a bad lens for the money. Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguewave Posted March 16, 2011 Share #5 Â Posted March 16, 2011 I own & use both. The newer R19 is best with the DMR. I like the older one for film. It is has less contrast, which fits well for films like TriX 400. I have also used the V1 with films like Neopan 1600 and the results are very good.
