LEICA TRI-ELMAR-M 28 35 5 mm f/4 ASPH. 1 This lens combines three of the focal lengths that are most popular among Leica M photographers. The appropriate bright-line frame appears in the viewfinder when any of the focal lengths is selected. A complex optical design gives this lens extraordinary performance characteristics: Five of the eight lens elements are made of high-refraction optical glass, two of which have aspherical surfaces. Richness of contrast and detail resolution are superb at all three focal lengths. Curvature of field and vignetting are of no practical consequence. The versatility, compact design and ease of operation of this high-performance lens make it a natural for uncomplicated shots with professional quality. Adding a 9 mm telephoto lens to this extra light Leica M traveling outfit makes it complete and ready for every imaging situation.

Shown is the contrast in percentage for 5, 1, 2 and 4 lp/mm accross the height of the 35 mm film format, for tangential (dotted line) and sagittal (solid line) structures, in white light. The 5 and 1 lp/mm will give an indication regarding the contrast ratio for large object structures.the 2 and 4 lp/mm records the resolution of finer and finest object structures. sagittal structures tangential structures

Distortion is the deviation of the real image height (in the picture) from the ideal image height. The relative distortion is the percentage deviation. The ideal image height results from the object height and the magnification. The image height of 21.6mm is the radial distance between the edge and the middle of the image field for the format 24mm x 36mm. The graph of the effective distortion illustrates the appearance of straight horizontal and vertical lines in the picture. Vignetting is a continous decrease of the illumination to the edges of the image field. The graph shows the percentage lost of illumination over the image height. 1% means no vignetting. sagittal structures tangential structures
