The entry-level set includes a LEICA R9 in classic black, featuring the high-grade LEICA VARIO-ELMAR-R 35-70 mm f/4, at a highly attractive price. This universal Vario lens covers the classic focal lengths, and impresses in particular by its high contrast and outstanding image quality. With its excellent lens shade and excellent anti-flare characteristics, it is especially well suited to subjects having extreme contrast. Thanks to the macro mode setting, close-ups down to a distance of 26 cm (10.5 in) are possible. All these features make it an essential standard lens. In combination with the LEICA R9 camera, it represents the ideal solution for anyone seeking to enjoy the many benefits of the Leica R system.
