Developed during the golden era of the R-system, this lens is celebrated for its exceptional color separation, micro-contrast, and the signature three-dimensional rendering that has made Leica R glass a favorite for both 35mm film photographers and modern cinematographers. With a constant f\/4 maximum aperture, it provides consistent exposure across the entire focal range, while the sophisticated internal optical design ensures edge-to-edge sharpness that rivals many prime lenses. Built to Leica's uncompromising mechanical standards, this E60 version features a robust all-metal construction and a silky-smooth \"one-touch\" zoom and focus design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003eConstant f\/4 maximum aperture throughout the 70-210mm zoom range for consistent exposure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003eLegendary Leica optical character with rich color saturation and high micro-contrast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003eVersatile telephoto range ideal for portraits, travel, and landscape compression\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\"\u003eRobust all-metal barrel construction built to withstand decades of professional use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,4,0\"\u003eIntegrated telescoping lens hood for immediate flare protection in the field\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,5,0\"\u003ePrecise \"one-touch\" slide-zoom and focus mechanism for rapid intuitive handling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,6,0\"\u003eLarge E60 (60mm) front diameter for high light transmission and professional results\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIntroductory Paragraph\u003c\/b\u003e The Leica Vario-Elmar-R 70-210mm f\/4 is the definitive \"telephoto workhorse\" for the R-mount system. This specific unit (S\/N: 3400771) offers a level of optical performance that bridges the gap between vintage character and modern resolution. The 70mm end is perfect for capturing natural, flattering portraits, while the 210mm end allows you to isolate distant details with remarkable clarity. Because it features a constant aperture, it is an exceptionally popular choice for filmmakers who adapt Leica R glass to digital cinema cameras, as it provides a cinematic, \"organic\" texture that modern digital-native lenses often lack. Whether you are mounting it on a Leica R8 or a modern mirrorless system, this lens provides the mechanical and optical soul that only Leica can deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The lens barrel (S\/N: 3400771) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its vintage age. The optics are clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The \"one-touch\" zoom and focus mechanism is smooth and well-damped, holding its position without excessive \"creep.\" The aperture ring clicks firmly at all stops, and the diaphragm blades are clean and snappy. The Leica R-mount is in excellent condition, ensuring a secure and light-tight fit to your camera body or adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/b\u003e \"The 70-210mm f\/4 is often cited as one of the best-kept secrets in the R-mount lineup. What I love about this S\/N: 3400771 is the way it handles highlights; it has a very gentle, roll-off that makes skin tones look absolutely beautiful. It’s a lens that doesn't just record a scene; it gives it a specific atmosphere. It feels like a solid block of glass and metal in the hand—pure mechanical excellence. On a modern digital sensor, it produces a 'filmic' quality that is very hard to replicate in post-processing. For anyone looking to add that unmistakable German character to their telephoto work, this Vario-Elmar is an outstanding choice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003eLeica Vario-Elmar-R 70-210mm f\/4 Zoom Lens (S\/N: 3400771)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eFront Lens Cap \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003eRear Lens Cap \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Lenses\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eLens Mount: Leica R-mount\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eFocal Length: 70-210mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eAperture Range: f\/4 - f\/22\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eCategory: 2.
