Hi,

Are there any lens gurus who can tell me if this Elmar is genuine?

Thank you.

I am no expert but I THINK the groove edging should be crisscrossed on the aperture ring and the lever that locks the lens is incorrect and normally has a cone shape knob on the top. This is a general guide and there may be exceptions, maybe a lens guru can clarify this.

Iopena,

Elmar came with differents flavors, so over years they had some differences, but something to learn with genuine ones to compare.

Have a look at Wiki Elmar II

as noctilux wrote there are various flavours of Elmar  but none of them is like above faked from FED. I selected few details, left is faked lens, right is genuine Elmar.
