The Vario-Elmarit-R 28-90mm f/2.8-4.5 ASPH was one of the very last lenses designed for the R-system before it was discontinued, leaving many Leica enthusiasts to wonder “what could’ve been” should the line have carried on. Performance is excellent for a zoom, and what makes this lens particularly useful is its compatibility with both digital Leica M cameras with live view (via the R-Adapter-M) and L-mount cameras with the R-Adapter-L. If you're looking for a lightweight, flexible, easy-to-use zoom lens for your M and SL cameras, look no further.
