Leica R 100mm Macro-Elmarit 2.8 & Leica R Macro 60mm 2.8 - with Leitax Canon Mounts

A gorgeous copy of the Legendary Leica APO 100mm Elmarit-R Macro 2.8 with Leitax Canon EOS / EF mount is up for sale (see recent picts below).

Considered the best all-around R by many and provides full coverage at 5 and 6k. I've owned some of the best Canon, Voigtlander and Zeiss macro glass in Canon EF and none are as well-rounded or stunning as the Leica 100mm. Very sharp throughout its f-stop range, yet more organic than zeiss.

The 100mm Macros for sale on Ebay in similar condition cost $2200-$2800 in the Leica R mount without the
Leitax Canon EF mount. Went through multiple copies until finding the best ones. This one's in great condition cosmetically, mechanically and optically with a super smooth focus and very few signs of use. Comes with a new Leitax Canon mount (with improved flare control) semi-permaneantly installed.

Keeping one copy and selling two extras originally purchased for a project.

Now priced to sell...

Leica APO 100mm 2.8 Macro: Sold - but see latest post
Leica 60mm 2.8
Macro: Sold

The lens has not been declicked, but can be done so at a reasonable cost. (PM me if interested in a duclosed version instead.)

Also offering a 1-week money back guarantee for redusers, and will ship it fully insured and carefully packaged.

Please PM me with questions or to purchase. Will gladly provide professional references, etc. I live about an hour from Atlanta.

2 out of 3 of the 60mms have sold, and one sale is pending.

But the sweet 100mm is still available.

From SLRLensreview.com:

"Leica APO Macro Elmarit-R 100mm f/2.8 is the most 'well-behaved' lens I have encountered so far. It's also one of the most well-rounded macro/medium telephoto lenses on the market. Image resolution is simply outstanding corner to corner, chromatic aberration is practically non-existent, color reproduction is one to envy and vignetting is basically under control - what else can one desire in a quality lens? Oh, yes, price... Unfortunately, the lens is not cheap - at almost US$4,000 this is one very expensive lens, so naturally this is not going to be a mainstream macro/telephoto."
 
Final price cut on this Legendary Leica APO 100mm 2.8 with Canon Leitax Mount Installed...

See latest/absolute lowest price below (paypal, insured shipping with 1-week money back guarantee period for redusers)

Good copies of this lens usually cost more than $2k without the Canon Mount. This one is Superb. I'm keeping a copy in similar condition and its my favorite lens. An amazing macro & stunning all-around prime.

PM with questions, to see more picts (including images taken with this lens) or to purchase.

Here is a screenshot from AE that was captured with this lens on my Scarlet recently. Other than basic curves this is straight from the camera, no color processing or sharpening.
