- _***a (0)- Feedback left by buyer.More than a year agoVerified purchaseAccurately described and appeared to have been cleaned as well. Functions perfectly. Very good communication. Packaging could have been slightly better but sufficient. Shipping was a bit much considering how slow it was getting here but some of that is out of the seller’s control. Would buy from again! Thank you

Fujifilm's go-anywhere super telephoto is an excellent performer with a deluxe but fair price
2 of 2 found this helpful It's the only telephoto available for the Fujifilm XF system so it's a good thing this is an excellent lens. I have directly compared this to the Sony 200-600mm and, despite the obvious autofocus advantages in the Sony, the printed images are more often indistinguishable. To my mind it's slightly behind image quality in the Nikon 200-500mm and Sony 100-400mm GM but equal to the Sony 200-600mm and Sigma 150-600mm telephotos. What that means is that you will not be disappointed in the image quality. The autofocus was actually quite excellent on the XT3, XPro3, and the XT30. If you are using an older generation, you might find a drop in hit rates on the XT2 generation sensors / AF systems. This is a decent value zoom when bought used, and a little pricey for an APS-C telephoto zoom brand new. All that being said, it does the job and it finds its way into my backpack due to its weight and size more often that my Sony 200-600mm for opportunity birding.

Great value to add a little vintage spice to your street photography
If you are looking for a vintage vibe in your film or digital photography, this lens is a great value. When at f1.4 you get a very nice glow effect but can still produce sharp images. Stopping down, you get a very sharp and serviceable lens. The single coating variant allows for some flare and reduces overall contrast which makes this an interesting lens for doing black and white photography. I shoot this on digital primarily, on a Leica M typ 262 (24MP) or on a Fujifilm XPro3 (26MP). In both cases I use it for street photography. I would not use this as a studio lens.
See attached shots taken with Fujifilm X-Pro3 and the 40mm Nokton Classic in various conditions.

Sharp, small, undervalued 28mm Leica
This is a great Leica lens as far as Leica goes. The image is sharp, even for digital, the lens is durable, and the color rendering is excellent. It is extremely portable and light and will therefore stay on your camera for street photography most of the time. For me, the objective test is to put it up against my other higher end mirrorless lenses on my Sony A7riv and Fujifilm X-Pro3 with adapters and in this regard the Elmarit 28mm stood out as superior or equivalent to much larger primes. The edge to edge sharpness on a full frame was excellent and it is extremely sharp at its modest wide-open aperture of f2.8. You can find 28mm that are close to this image quality in the Voigtlander ultron 28mm or Sigma 28mm f1.4 ART on DSLR/mirrorless at a substantially lower cost, but if you are investing in Leica glass at least you know the quality and resale is very high.
