35-70mm f/3.5 Vario-Elmar-R
Zoom Lens
The 35-70mm f/3.5 Vario-Elmar-R from Leica is a versatile zoom lens covering a wide-angle to short telephoto zoom range. The optical design uses eight elements in seven groups to capture sharp images even at the fast maximum aperture of f/3.5.
There were two versions of this lens produced by Leica - this is the more recent E67 version. The first version featured a 60mm filter size, where this version uses a 67mm. This larger filter size reduces the chance of vignetting from filters at the shorter focal lengths.
