It has just been discussed here and it has been several times in the past. Perhaps you didn't see/search it or if you did, you might put your question more specific.

That a 90 doesn't work on digital is non-sense

As far as Leica M lenses are concerned, all the following 90s work fine on my digital Leica (M8.2, M240), Fuji (X-E2) and Sony (A7s mod) cameras: 90/2 v2, 90/2 v3, 90/2 asph, 90/2.8 v1, 90/2.8 v2, 90/4 collaps., 90/4 macro. Focussing them at f/2 is not accurate enough on my M8.2 though.

Reason why this 90/4 does not fit digital Ms is perhaps that it cannot focus accurately on them, especially more demanding M8s, for lack of calibration. You could not raise a claim on e**y if the lens does not work fine on a digital M anyway. I would stay away from this lens if i were in your shoes but it's just the lawyer in me perhaps...

Got a response from the seller, nice guy. Maybe just an issue with this copy of the lens but I think I will pass on it.

 

Someone tried it on their Leica digital and told me that it would not focus to infinity. On an M-P and a T. I have never seen this type problem with a Leica lens and have no Leica digital camera to test it on. So I thought it was safer to say it is not for digital. The lens looks great and comes to the infinity mark perfectly. Looking on the internet, I only found one other instance, with a Summicron I think, where there was an issue. That with a Leica T which I believe requires an adapter.

I can recommend the 90/4 Elmar C. Very good quality and not expensive.
