Advertisement Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Hi fishdrummer, Take a look here Leica 28 Elmarit. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
sparkie Posted October 5, 2007 Share #2 Posted October 5, 2007 you have a 1st vers 28/2.8. If you are planning on using it on the M8 - it won't meter. Nor will it meter on any M camera with a built in meter. I'm not sure theres much point in coding or using it on the M8. lens hood is: 12501 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j. borger Posted October 5, 2007 Share #6 Posted October 5, 2007 bummer. thanks Not a real bummer, be carefull .... you are probably sitting on gold ... if you happen to own a minty 9 elements first series 28 Elmarit ....the mint in box versions run for over Euro 2000 on the collectors market here in Europe .... Look here .... Schouten Select Cameras & Accessories! This guy is expensive .. but he is very reliable and the stuff he sells is first grade .... he sure knows the prices on 2nd hand/ collectors market!

You indeed have the rare and much sought after 1st version. Serial number range for this lens was from 2 061 501 - 2 533 880 while the 2nd version (which does not look very different) started from 2 314 801. This lens will reach $2000 or more on the used marked, so if you sell it you could get a new 2.8/28 ASPH which optically is much better but has no value as a collection piece (assuming you are only a user, not a collector).

luigi bertolotti Posted October 6, 2007 Share #9 Posted October 6, 2007 Ivar is right.. a valuable collector's item... if you aren't one, sell it and buy the aph 28 2,8 : can even happen you retain some money and have a better lens for use on M8.

carstenw Posted October 6, 2007 Share #10 Posted October 6, 2007 For that price, if you are careful, you might even be able to find a used 28 Cron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishdrummer Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share #11 Posted October 7, 2007 thanks everyone. I will indeed sell it/trade it and hopefully get a used 28 cron out of the deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivar B Posted October 7, 2007 Share #12 Posted October 7, 2007 [quote name= where would I find a lens hood for it - not sure which one it needs? [/quote] By the way, the lens hood is 12501, which is the same one as for the 3.4/21 Super-Angulon. There is one out on e-Bay now but the price is on the high side: Leica Lens Shade 12501 for 3,4/21mm boxed - (eBay item 280159803373 end time Oct-14-07 08:01:43 PDT) I also checked KevinCameras and he has several in stock. With a little patience, you will find it on eBay for about $100 - 150, depending on condition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
