The Interchangeable
Lenses of the LEICA M2
Your choice of focal lengths ranges from
21- to 400mm, with apertures as fast as
f/1.4. With this wide variety of logically
selected focal lengths, from super
wideangle to extreme long-focus, you can
select any viewpoint and have complete
control over subject field and perspective.
In a nutshell, the LEICA M2 with its large
family of interchangeable lenses is limited
in application only by the photographer's
own imagination.
A few words of caution:
Avoid changing
len-ses in strong direct light. When
necessary, turn your back to the sun and
use your body to shield the lens-opening.
The Collapsible Lenses
Some of the LEICA lenses (e.g. the 50mm
Elmar and the collapsible 90mm Elmar) can
be collapsed when not in use by turning to
the left and pushing the barrel into the ca-
mera body. For picture-taking, fully extend
the lens barrel and lock by turning to the
right as far as it will go. The 90mm collap-
sible Elmar can only be focused when prop-
erly extended and locked.
