The Leica M 90mm f/4 Leitz Wetzlar Elmar-C Lens is a compact and lightweight telephoto lens designed for Leica M-mount rangefinder cameras. Known for its sharp optics and classic rendering, this lens is ideal for portrait, travel, and street photography.

The 90mm focal length provides a telephoto perspective while maintaining a compact and lightweight form factor.

Compact Telephoto Design

Designed for Leica M-mount cameras, ensuring seamless integration and performance.

Leica M-Mount Compatibility

Features Leica's renowned optical engineering for sharp and detailed images.

High-Quality Optics

The Leica M 90mm f/4 Leitz Wetzlar Elmar-C is a **prime telephoto** lens built natively for the **Leica M-mount** rangefinder camera system. Covering a **full-frame** image circle at a fixed **90mm** focal length, it delivers a consistent telephoto perspective without the complexity of a zoom mechanism. The maximum aperture of **f/4** keeps the physical design compact and contributes to the lens's impressive weight of just **220g** — a genuine advantage for photographers who carry their kit on foot. Focus is entirely **manual**, integrating naturally with the rangefinder coupling of Leica M cameras. The **39mm** filter thread adds to the lens's understated, travel-friendly profile. With no image stabilization, this lens rewards a steady hand and deliberate technique, fitting perfectly into the measured, intentional workflow that defines rangefinder photography.

A fixed focal length well-suited to portraiture and travel photography on rangefinder systems.

90mm Telephoto Prime

Integrates directly with the M-mount rangefinder mechanism for accurate focus confirmation through the viewfinder.

Leica M-Mount Rangefinder Coupling

A modest but consistent maximum aperture that keeps the lens compact and the optical design disciplined.

f/4 Maximum Aperture

One of the lightest 90mm telephoto primes available for the M-mount system, making it practical for all-day carry.

Ultralight 220g Build

Designed for the full 35mm image circle, ensuring complete coverage on any Leica M body without vignetting.

Full-Frame Coverage

Manufactured in Leica's original Wetzlar facility, reflecting the optical craftsmanship of classic Leica production.

Leitz Wetzlar Heritage

A compact filter size that limits bulk and keeps the cost of compatible filters and accessories low.

39mm Filter Thread

Fully manual operation suits the deliberate, considered shooting style of the rangefinder workflow.
