28mm Super-Angulon?

If you like the Leica Super-Angulon 21/3.4, you may also like the Leica Elmarit 28/2.8 v1, as they have similar color performance. Perhaps the designers of the Elmarit 28 v1 were inspired by the Schneider Super-Angulon, despite their different focal lengths.

28mm for Street Photography

With 28mm street photography, you can capture a lot of environmental information. This focal length is great for travel records and life captures, which is why the iPhone has been equipped with a 28mm lens for many years. The biggest problem with 28mm is distortion control. If it is distorted, it will look unpleasant. However, the distortion of the Leica Elmarit 28/2.8 V1 is perfectly controlled, and it’s the best 28mm lens I’ve ever used, even better than later versions. The advantage of nearly zero distortion is that you can capture photos as you like, even at close range, without any strange feeling.

28mm lens that brings out the 35mm frame line

The first camera with a 28mm frame line was the Leica M4-P in 1980. They didn’t meet in 1972. It’ll bring out the 35mm frame line on the Leica M2, M4, M6, M7, MP, and m9. This is a 28mm lens that brings out the 35mm frame line. It’s important to remember this. Normally, I use the edge of the viewfinder as the 28mm frame line, and they’re pretty close.

Avoid m5 and cl

The rear lens group is much longer than an ordinary lens and will be inserted into the camera body, which might affect the metering module of the Leica M5 or CL. Just to let you know, Leica product number 11801, with a serial number lower than 2314921, can’t be used on M5 and CL models. It’ll damage the metering arm. This lens can also be used with all other Leica M cameras, including digital M cameras.
