Used Leica Tri-Elmar-M 28-35-50mm Price Guide

The Leica Tri-Elmar-M 28-35-50mm f/4 ASPH (nicknamed the "MATE") is one of Leica's most original M-mount designs: not a zoom but a three-position lens with discrete focal-length click stops at 28mm, 35mm, and 50mm, all at constant f/4. Produced 1998–2007 in two filter thread variants (E55 early, E49 late). Each focal length is a separately optimized configuration, with optical performance closer to a prime than a zoom. The single lens replaces a 28/35/50 prime kit for travel and documentary shooters. For the full version-by-version guide see the Leica Tri-Elmar Lenses blog post.
