Had some fun shooting basketball with the M11 and the 90mm APO. First time trying action with it and did better than I though I would. Will have another crack at it next weekend :)

A few with a soon-to-be new acquisition. 90mm Elmar-C f/4.0. As always click to see crisper versions.

Key feature: this lens is virtually immune to flare from outside-the-frame bright light sources, unlike almost all other 90s I've used on the M10. Probably because it has more vignetting (less stray light bouncing around inside the lens or camera body). And the f/4 aperture was "enough" even for the poorly lit music shots (ISO 10000 with M10).

When I actually need something faster than this, I will run, not walk, to the 2.5 extra stops of the 75mm Nokton anyway. The 90 will be my "carry around with a 21 and 35" lens.

I have tried the Elmar-C before, but previous copies were hazier - this one has good clarity, in between the original TE and the TE-M, but with sharper corners wide-open.

Great photos and great lens. Thank you Adan.

Great photos! Your copy is also obviously much better than mine, which is less contrasty, or hazier as you say. I find it okay in good light and closer distances. At infinity and in more complicated lighting situations I don’t like it.

A couple more with the 90 Elmar-C wide-open - just getting the hang of it. M10 images converted to B&W. Click for higher resolution.

The last Elmarit-M 90mm f2.8 is not mentioned enough in this forum. High-end image. Well done.

I found one not too long ago, six bit coded by Leica about 10 years ago. Glad I saw and nabbed.

I used to own it and also Minolta 90, Cron 90 v1, but at the end the best 90mm lens for me is Summicron 75mm😁

Elmarit is sharp and nice in hand but, IMHO, results vary too much, depending on source of light. Sometimes I was blown away by its rendering (usually indoor in quite good light), while in other occasions it was just nothing special (landscape photos during the day). My main frustraiton with the lens was unpredictable fringing and other optic phenomena, while sharpness was always very good. Rendering is better with Cron and Elmar, but again this is just a personal impression, not a fact. 

Otherwise I agree with you, Elmarit is maybe best 90mm Leica lens regarding price/performance ratio.

@Capnord Capnord's photo is really great and makes me revaluate my opinion on this lens. I hope many new photos will be posted within this thread. Great!
