The Leitz 16mm f/2.8 Elmarit-R Fisheye is an ultra-wide fisheye lens in Leica R bayonet mount, built for Leica SLR bodies such as the R3 through R9. Its 16mm focal length and f/2.8 maximum aperture produce a full-frame fisheye image with characteristic curvilinear distortion, intended for dramatic wide-angle coverage on 35mm film SLRs.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for this Elmarit-R Fisheye have ranged from £338 to £434, with the November 2024 sale landing at £400 and a median around £400. As of 2026, saleroom results suggest the lens typically sells for the high-£300s to low-£400s when clean, reflecting its niche specialist appeal rather than general-purpose demand. These are wholesale-level results and do not include buyer's or seller's commission, so condition and completeness drive where within that band a copy lands.
