The Leitz 28-90mm f/2.8-4.5 Vario-Elmarit-R ASPH is a wide-to-short-telephoto zoom lens for the Leica R bayonet mount, intended for use on Leica R-series SLR bodies. It uses aspherical elements and was one of the most ambitious zoom designs produced in the later years of the R system.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for this lens have ranged from £1,375 to £1,625, giving a median around £1,500 — saleroom levels that exclude buyer's and seller's commission. The lens still sells for premium money in 2026, reflecting its reputation and limited production, though with only two recent results the price band is indicative rather than definitive and exceptional examples with original box and hood can be worth more.
