Must smaller than the old Elmarit. Its size in my book is a real plus. On the minus side. Meaning I'd like one cause they're small. I have a 21 and 24 Asph both monsters. I don't have a 28. But when I get one it will be the newer ones Leica is coming out with now. The 2.8 or the 2. Both very compact lenses. Probalby the 2.8 Which Erwin called the first lens make for rangefinder photography with no distortion. With amazing flare control and flatness of field. Its half the size and weight of its previous component and this I images for its wide open performance in the sharpness end of the ball field being less than. Thanks ok with me as all other aspects of the lens are far supperior. The far edges wide open are soft but I'd been shooting most crop circles with it. Anywas with a lens which is super compact; Which this lens is; I'm willing to bite off the tippy edges. I've printe millions of full frame black border 11x14s or bigger in which you can see the very far edges are a tad soft and no one ever cares. That far out. An inch out or less.
