Leitz's fast telephoto for M-mount — the Elmarit 135mm f/2.8 from the classic era.

The Leitz Elmarit-M 135mm f/2.8 is a fast telephoto prime from Leica/Leitz for the M bayonet, used with VISOFLEX or directly on digital M bodies with live view. The Elmarit designation indicates Leica's f/2.8 lens class. Multiple generations were produced with differing optical formulas.

The lens delivers 135mm at f/2.8 maximum aperture with Leica M bayonet, rangefinder coupling through the VISOFLEX attachment for film M bodies, and full-frame 35mm coverage. Later versions with 6-bit coding provide automatic lens identification on digital M bodies.

The Elmarit-M 135mm f/2.8 provides the fastest available 135mm aperture in the Leica M lens lineup. Its optical quality is characteristic of Leitz/Leica telephoto design with smooth rendering and controlled chromatic aberration. Generation and coating era significantly affect rendering character and value.

Identify the production generation from serial number and markings. Test via VISOFLEX or live view for focusing accuracy at 135mm. Inspect element condition and coating. Check aperture blade operation. Verify 6-bit coding contacts on later versions.
