Pros: None

Cons: Low resolution, low contrast, low sharpness

Opinion: That's my worsest macro lense in the range from 90mm to 100mm. The build is really nice, everything feels really good. That changes immediately when you want to use it seriously. Although the focus ring moves smooth, using it is not a pleasure. Normally 1:2 macro lenses are easy two use and they can be used for many applications. This lens is similar, it's good for nothing. So it's easy to get better macro lenses for the money. My personal favourite is the Contax Zeiss Makro-Planar 100mm 2.8, but there are many lenses which are better than this Leica lense. Below are lenses mentioned which know very well. - Olympus OM-System Zuiko Auto-Macro 90mm f2. It has beautiful colors, great micro contrast and a pleasant bokeh. - Nikon Nikkor Ai-S 105mm f2.8 Micro. This is a high resolution lens. It's great for macro, but not so good for other applications. - Tokina AT-X 90mm f2.5 Macro. It's famous for it's bokeh. - Tamron SP Adaptall f2.5 90mm. It's a soild performer. I was fooled by the beautiful exterior of Leica Macro-Elmar-R 100mm f/4.

Pros: robustness, precision in the Maf, chromatic rendering

Cons: in fact none, especially taking into account the cost on the second-hand market

Opinion: goal purchased to play with a Leica and a little neglected until this last period, in which, in quarantine, it was a tool of daily use; of course it is a lens that gives the best of itself on the stand and at short distances; Also useful for landscapes with narrow corners; in these two fields it has no competitors in the same price range and on the macro competes well with all the most accredited targets of the emblazoned brands, weighing even less at the same focal point. At the free hand you feel the lack of autofocus, but this is a point that you know. I, with Nikon F attack, use it on both D850 and Z7; For the latter, the focus of peacking in the crosshairs helps a lot of focus. The results in terms of chromatic brilliance and definition are significant, and you don't lose in quality even using Leica's Elpro filters to increase the magnification.

Pros: Price, construction, image quality, color rendition, character in out of focus

Cons: Loss of contrast with side light

Opinion: A superb goal. Great at each distance and with a correction of chromatic aberration that surprising. It is not an apo but it's close, at least in the area of focus. Very nice yield in the portrait, and landscape. The aperture only f/4 may sound limiting but is sufficient in most uses. Clearly nn is an optical to use in low light. However it is definitely a lens that has character. The focus is simple, especially in coil version. The only drawback the side light: causes a loss of contrast. You can avoid putting a hand to cover the light source. A perspective that I recommend to anyone looking for a good 100 mm without breaking the Bank
