Tele-Elmarit 90mm f2.8. Manufactured in 1966 with a serial number of 2.21 million. Produced by Leitz Canada. Finished in black chrome. It features a later version with a yellow scale. Leitz product code is 11800. Despite being a telephoto lens with an aperture of f2.8, it maintains a size comparable to a large aperture 50mm lens, which is a remarkable design achievement. Its elegant design, reminiscent of the Summilux 50mm, includes beautiful ribbing. Its moderate weight and user-friendly helicoid position enhance its usability. Near wide open aperture, it delivers a pleasantly soft rendering, while stopping down increases contrast significantly, resulting in rich and dense imagery. Compatible hood is 12575. Filter size is E39. In excellent condition overall, with only very minimal black chrome wear on the focusing and aperture rings. It would seamlessly fit onto a brand-new digital Leica M. Fully serviced in April 2024, both the aperture and focusing rings operate smoothly and precisely. The rangefinder coupling is also accurate. While there are slight signs of coating deterioration on the glass, there are no cleaning marks or haze, making it exceptionally clean. You can enjoy the original performance of the Tele-Elmarit. It comes with genuine front and rear caps."
