Hi All,
Is there anyone here with experience of the Leica 60mm f2.8 R lens? I would welcome your guidance. I'm thinking of getting one for using on my Leica SL.
Mike

I have it, my copy is from 1973. It is an excellent lens.
Here a close-up from an old 10 guilder bill with the lens mounted on my Fuji X-T1. I used the 1:1 adapter to get this result. Make sure that is included with the lens you purchase, as buying separately can easily cost an extra $100.

I had the 60mm Macro Elmarit back in the 1970s. It's a truly excellent lens that will not disappoint you. It's also the the only "normal" focal length macro lens you can put on your Leicaflex, which makes chosing it really easy!

The lens is sharp at all focus distances, perfect lens for walkabout, it's s bokeh is a bit on the busy side.
The 100/2.8 APO Macro is also awesome.

I had one converted to use on my Nikon. Was a good lens but I did not notice it better than my Nikon 60. Using it on Leica, I am sure you will be happy with it.
