Elmarit 28mm 2.8 Asph KEH prices

[Asim]

I always buy from KEH.com and have been happy with them. They currently don't have any of these lenses so I can't get an idea of how much they go for.

Can anyone please give me an estimate of how much I might spend on a 28mm Elmarit Aspherical. I'm looking for the current version as well as the previous version... 11606 and 11677.

Thank you

There is one listed in the classifieds.

thanks for the responses. I don't see one in the classifieds. Am I not searching it correctly? I do see one that is pre-aspherical though. Are you possibly referring to that?

That’s mine, it is ASPH, PM me if interested! Great lens!

Some believe that the Zeiss Biogon 2.8/28 is the better lens. Now on sale with BH.

I’ve had both zeiss and Leica. Image quality they’re probably equals but Leica wins for me because of the ergonomics, I can’t focus by feel with the ZM.

I've had the 28mm Elmarit Asph and currently carry the 28mm Elmarit V4 (pre-asph). The pre-aspheric is larger (same as Summicron) but not so contrasty as the Elmarit asph. It renders beautifuly and can be found for $950-1100. Couple with 35mm Summilux ASPH lenshood, a nice package.
