Model Details
Manual focus wide-to-telephoto zoom lens made for R-mount 35mm SLR cameras introduced by Leica in 1997. This is the second version of the lens. It featured a new, slightly smaller design, had ROM contacts, and removed the built-in lens hood. ROM Cam lenses have a stepped cam, like on the 3rd-Cam, plus electronic contacts. They are compatible with all R-series cameras. The electronic contacts are only supported on the R8/R9. They will not fit Leicaflex cameras. Metal body available in black (11364).

Leica introduced the R system in 1964 as an alternative to their M mount rangefinders and as a response to the successful SLR systems of the time, including Nikon F and Pentax M42. The R system was produced, with some modifications, until 2009.
Most R mount lenses can be used on any R mount camera, but there are compatibility issues with both the oldest and newest lenses. Over time, Leica added features and technology to the lenses that made them incompatible.
