Third, select a cheap Leica R lens focal length such as 135mm, 180mm, 250mm or third party Leica R zoom lenses such as those designed by Sigma or Minolta. ![]() Second, buy a Leica R lens bundled with a Leica R camera for a better deal. My top tips for buying cheap Leica R lenses is first, be patient and wait for good deals on eBay. Once cine guys discovered Leica R lenses that pushed up the prices and many get de-clicked and gears added to use for video. Older 2-CAM lenses are generally the cheapest and the “ROM” lenses (like 6-bit coded) are the most expensive. Don’t be put off by the first price you see as some lenses are expensive. This lens purchase was a direct result of a trip where I used the 35mm Summicron R and 50mm Summicron R and the frustration of constantly switching lenses. Leica 35-70mm R f3.5, Leica 28-70mm R f3.5-f4.5 and the Leica Vario-Elmar-R 35-70mm f4 that I bought. See my Leica Vario-Elmar-R 35-70mm f4 review YouTube video that explains the difference between the Minolta version, the Sigma version and the Leica version (all badged as Leica!). One Leica R zoom lens is bigger than one Leica R prime lens but if they offer 3 lenses in 1 lens overall it is less to carry. Zoom lenses are usually bigger than primes but on the larger Leica R camera body they balance OK. Once I invested into Leica R cameras, I had the opportunity to shoot with longer lens and zoom lenses more easily. When using a compact Leica M camera I feel that small primes are the best way to shoot for me. ![]() ![]() Leica R zoom lenses vs primes was a no brainer for me as prime lenses have always said to be optically superior.
