Characterized by its sleek, unobtrusive profile, the Leica Elmarit-M 28mm f/2.8 ASPH. Lens is a compact optic that is particularly well-suited for street photography applications. Beyond its svelte stature, this wide-angle prime also features an eight-element, six-group optical design that contains one aspherical element to minimize spherical aberrations and distortions for clean, sharp image quality throughout the aperture and focusing ranges. Additionally, for intuitive handling and use, the manual focus design lends precise control while shooting, and its short, just over 1" in length, profile barely protrudes into the viewfinder field of M cameras for a clearer, uncluttered perspective while composing images.

Great compact lens

have had the lens for 9 months and use it extensively. It is one of the most used lenses that I have. I like the compactness of the lens, especially when used without the lens hood. The image quality is very good. It has a pleasing softness when wide open. Stopped down, it is very sharp.

How does this lens compare to the previous version of the 28mm Elmarit ASPH?
I believe that it is the same optical formula so there would be no change except the metal lens hood and possibly 6-bit coding.

question
Would this lens lose quality being adapted to the Sony A7RIII...?
Yes, to a certain degree, Sony sensor stack is thicker, and generally speaking, lens designed for Leica M mount will perform better on a Leica digital camera due to its thin sensor stack. You can check Philipreeve's article on "Kolari Ultra Thin Sensor Stack Modification"

what is a protection ring?
what is a protection ring?
The protection ring is just a ring that finishes the clean aesthetic of the front of the lens when not using the hood or other filters and it protects the threads as well.

Does this lens have any viewfinder blockage when used without the lens hood? (on M11, if camera model matters)
If you use the lens hood, it will appear in the bottom right corner. Not much, however. Nothing that will make it uncomfortable to see your subjects.
