Manufacturer description

An international favorite of photo-journalists, this high-speed medium long-focus LEICA lens yields brilliant images with crisp edge-to-edge sharpness from f/2 downwards. Ideal for candid, unobtrusive picture-making under all lighting conditions, this is also the ideal lens for stage photography in color and black-and-white. Its combination of moderately long focal length plus wide aperture make it useful for separating a subject from its background.

From the editor

The number of aperture blades could be 15 or 12.

The lens accepts both 48mm screw-type and 54mm slip-on filters.
