lct Posted February 11, 2022 Share #61 Posted February 11, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) If you got an Elmarit 90/2.8 v2 you won't be disappointed. Is is built as a tank. A bit bulky perhaps but a workhorse you can really rely upon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Posted February 17, 2022 Share #62 Posted February 17, 2022 I've got the 90! I'll post a few test pictures here, so you can tell me if you think it's Summarit, Elmarit or Elmar 🙂 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrapbook Posted February 17, 2022 Share #63 Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Do not forget the light-weight ELANG Elmar 4/9cm. It's not the very best 90mm Leica but it is cheap, tiny, and a very good lens. Try it! Claus Welcome, dear visitor!

Each of those can take good (and bad ! ) pictures, Summarit-M, Elmarit or Elmar (and Summicron, Summilux ?) I'm sure these following brass lenses had taken good portraits or whatever 😄 Welcome, dear visitor!

The Elmarit-M has a maximum magnification of 1:9. Older 90mm lenses do not improve upon this, as far as I know. Thus, given a sensor height of 2.4cm, the minimum object height is about 22cm. Not sure how tall this can is, but I guess the total object height in this picture is less than 22cm. This and the chosen aperture (f4), leads me to conclude that you bought a Macro-Elmar-M 90mm. Either this or that can is just taller than I thought... Anyway, enjoy your new lens! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Leica spec sheet. Without knowing the can size, that doesn't prove anything by itself. But the veiling flare in the picture of the backlit couple on the malecón, especially on the M10, could make it a 90 Summarit f/2.4. And Dennis mentioned that as one of his options.....

a.noctilux Posted February 18, 2022 Share #72 Posted February 18, 2022 I bet for Tele-Elmarit 90 "thin" 😜. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted February 18, 2022 Share #73 Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) It's an Elmarit-M .... 11807, SN from 1992 If I wrote well in LeicaWiki It's a tank. Really like it. And despite the weight, I assure it feels lighter than my CV 35/1.2III.. Maybe cause a different balance, don't know.I shoot all photos at f4 because I use it a lot, usually. But also because if I had taken these photos at f2.8, you would had understand that was not the Elmar 🙂 Need to take much more photos to understand it. Two hours is nothing. But it's a bit better than the expected. Thank you all for your previous helpful comments.... Edited February 18, 2022 by Dennis 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studienkamera Posted February 18, 2022 Share #75 Posted February 18, 2022 Great lens! In a recent comparison (tripod, 1/4000 exposure time, infinity focus) I did, it was better at f4 than my Macro-Elmar-M. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitely do some tests at infinity at f4 and f8. I would like some infinity landscapes shots with this lens Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted February 18, 2022 Share #77 Posted February 18, 2022 Only serious issue i had was front or back (don't recall) focus with the Elmarit 90/2.8 v2 but i had it fixed for free by Leica when converting the lens to 6-bit coding. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
