Leica's M-mount 90mm telephoto — Elmarit f/2.8 in black finish, classic portrait lens for M.
The Leica Elmarit-M 90mm f/2.8 (Black) is a telephoto portrait prime for Leica M rangefinders — likely the same lens as ID 1049 in black finish. At 90mm it is at the practical limit of rangefinder focusing for most photographers.
Optically good — Leica quality at 90mm with f/2.8 providing portrait compression. Manual focus with rangefinder coupling at 90mm — requires practice. The Elmarit designation indicates f/2.8. Multiple versions exist.
Leica M mount. Black finish. Compact for 90mm telephoto. Manual focus with rangefinder coupling. Multiple versions with varying filter threads. All-metal construction.
Available used at mid-range to professional prices. Likely a finish variant of ID 1049. The 90mm is challenging on rangefinder — the viewfinder frame is small. Later versions optically improved. For M-mount portrait photographers.
