Lens changed to: Elmarit-M 1:2.8/28 ASPH.

On my way to grandstand 13

Last Sunday, after a seven year hiatus, I visited the MotoGP races at the Sachsenring. I brought my M11 and a whole collection of lenses, of which I used three. Here are the images they produced.

Leica Vario-Elmar-R 1:4/80-200

Using a R lens on a Leica M camera mixes things up again. The R line of Leica lenses were for their S(ingle) L(ens) R(eflex) (see?) line of cameras and production of these lenses was stopped in the early noughts. There’s a huge used market for them today and they are a relatively cheap way to get Leica glass.
