The Leitz 15mm f/3.5 Super-Elmar-R is an ultra-wide-angle prime designed for the Leica R bayonet mount, fitting the company's Reflex SLR bodies such as the R3 through R9. With its 15mm focal length and f/3.5 maximum aperture, it was built to deliver an extreme angle of view for architectural, landscape and interior work on full-frame 35mm SLRs.

UK saleroom data is thin for this lens, but a clean example fetched £1,750 at hammer in November 2022, which is the only verified auction result on file and stands as both the high and the median price in our records. As of today in 2026, that figure reflects what the 15mm f/3.5 Super-Elmar-R sells for at wholesale auction level rather than dealer retail, where asking prices for fully serviced copies typically run higher. With only a single data point, the broader value range should be treated as indicative — condition, completeness of caps and hood, and optical cleanliness move the price materially.
