Vario Elmar R 1:4.5 / 75-200
The Leica Vario-Elmar-R 75-200mm f/4.5 is a lens with a fascinating history, born from the partnership between Leica and Minolta in the 1970s. Produced between 1978 and 1984, it was the successor to the earlier 80-200mm and was praised for being significantly more compact and easier to handle.
Specifications
-
Mount: Leica R-only (for Leica SLR cameras).
-
Optical Design: 15 elements in 11 groups (based on a Minolta optical design, but manufactured by Leica in Germany or Japan to their stringent standards).
-
Constant Aperture: While it's an f/4.5 (which is a bit "slow" by modern standards), it remains constant throughout the zoom range.
-

-
