=====Leica R PC-Super-Angulon 28mm f/2.8 ===== {{ :lens:28mmf2.8pc-super-angulon-r.jpg?direct&400|}} ==== Summary ==== The Leica PC-Super-Angulon-R 28mm f/2.8 is a wide-angle perspective-control prime lens for 35 mm Leica R SLR cameras. This professional lens is chiefly suitable for architecture photography because it eliminates the converging vertical lines of conventional lenses (see the left photo). Its enlarged image circle of 62 mm and the capability of shifting from the optical axis by up to 11 mm in any direction makes it possible to achieve more natural images. The mount design permits rotation in 45° steps, which enables perspective corrections in horizontal, vertical and oblique formats. A special lever stops down the aperture to the preset values. A floating element ensures high imaging performance even into the 30 cm near-focusing range. Angle of view (diagonal) - 73° Manufactured by Schneider-Kreuznach. ==== Tech Specs ==== | Manufacturer |Leica| | Series |R| | Model |PC-Super-Angulon| | Focal Length |28mm| | Max Aperture |f/2.8| | Min Aperture |f/22| | Format |-| | Image Circle |-| | Minimum Focus |0.3m / 11.8 in.| | Focus Rotation |-| | Iris Blades |5| | Optical Design |12/10| | Squeeze |none| | Front Diameter |-| | Filter Thread |E67| | Focus/Zoom Rod |-| | Native Mount |R| | Data Protocol |-| | Length |84mm| | Weight |600g| | Body Telescope |-| | Body Material |-| | Focus Drive |Manual| | Iris Drive |Manual| | Zoom Drive |n/a| ==== History ==== Country of Origin: - \\ Release Date: 1988-2009 \\ Launch Price: - \\ Design Revisions:\\ ==== Service ==== Service Manual: [[staff:servicedb:Leica-R28mmf2.8|Disassembly/Re-assembly]] \\ \\ Full CLA: **4-7hrs.**\\ general pricing for this lens. to be refined after confirmed\\ Clean iris blades: **5-8 hrs.**\\ full C+L + 1 hour for iris blades.\\ tighten iris (to prevent drift): **NC/.5hrs**\\ No charge for Duclos mod, 1/2 hr labor for non Duclos mod.\\ Re-collimate / T + S internal focus ring: **1-2 hrs.**\\ **GLUE WELL**\\ Remove sunshade: **1/2 hr.**\\ De-click: **$50**\\ WARRANTY: 1 year\\ Coupling: **$50** (unless additional dis-assembly is needed)\\ see focal lengths for details. if no notes are listed, work required is unknown at this time\\ clean IBs: **CLA + 1 hr.**\\ iris mechanism has tiny bearings\\ spray and bake threads (teflon coating): **CLA + 1hr.**\\ Focus scrapes: **2 hrs.**\\ adjust set screws in focus ring and knurled focus ring to reduce distortion.
