Unique Leica M macro-capable 90mm, dual portrait telephoto and close-up lens with optional macro adapter.
The Leica Macro-Elmar-M 90mm f/4 is a close-focus telephoto prime for the Leica M mount — designed to work with the Leica MACRO-ADAPTER-M for 1:3 to 1:1 macro reproduction. Slower f/4 allows a compact design. Without 6-bit digital coding. Leica M mount.
f/4 maximum aperture. 90mm focal length (full-frame telephoto/macro prime). Macro capable with MACRO-ADAPTER-M (1:3-1:1). No 6-bit coding. Rangefinder-coupled. At approximately 350g. Leica M mount.
The Macro-Elmar-M 90mm f/4 is designed for close-focus work with the MACRO-ADAPTER-M accessory — at standard focus it functions as a compact telephoto, but with the adapter it achieves macro ratios. This version lacks the 6-bit digital coding of the later variant (id 2613).
On the used market the Leica Macro-Elmar-M 90mm f/4 is a practical Leica M macro telephoto. Condition checks: front element, rangefinder coupling. Leica M mount — no 6-bit coding.
