The 9cm f/4 Elmar is a cornerstone of the Leica M-system, prized for its exceptionally compact design and signature vintage rendering. This rigid silver chrome version, produced by Ernst Leitz GmbH in Wetzlar, Germany, is perfect for portraiture and street photography where a discrete, high-quality telephoto lens is required. Its simple four-element optical formula delivers impressive sharpness with a gentle roll-off and a luxurious 15-blade diaphragm for smooth, circular bokeh.
This lens is in very good vintage condition. The optics are largely clear; however, under strong backlight, some light internal haze and typical fine cleaning marks may be visible, which is common for a lens of this age and typically does not affect image quality. There is no fungus or glass separation. The mechanical operation is excellentthe focusing is buttery smooth and precise, and the aperture ring clicks firmly at every stop. The silver chrome barrel shows light cosmetic wear and signs of use consistent with its age, but no major dents or damage.
