Leica's R-mount wide prime — 24mm f/2.8 ROM with electronic contacts.
The Leica Elmarit-R 24mm f/2.8 ROM is a wide-angle prime for the Leica R SLR system with ROM electronic contacts enabling communication with late-model R bodies. The Elmarit designation indicates Leica's f/2.8 optical quality tier.
Optically good — Leica Elmarit quality at 24mm with well-controlled distortion for the wide-angle perspective. ROM contacts provide electronic communication for improved metering on compatible R bodies. Manual focus with smooth R-mount helicoid.
Leica R mount with ROM electronic contacts and 55mm filter thread at approximately 370g. The ROM designation enables electronic metering communication on late R-mount bodies. 30cm minimum focus distance — useful for environmental wide-angle close-ups.
Available used at mid-range to professional prices. The R-mount system is discontinued but lenses adapt well to modern mirrorless cameras via R-mount adapters — providing quality Leica glass for adapted manual-focus shooting on Sony E, Nikon Z, and L-Mount.
