This LEICA ELMAR 50mm f/3.5 first shipped as a screw-mount lens from 1930-1959. It works fine today.īetter than the newest lenses, it weighs only half as much as a SUMMICRON, and far better than any SUMMILUX, has no distortion or finder blockage.īetter than any current 50mm lens, it collapses almost completely into the camera and pokes out less than 10mm (0.37mm)! Shooting this made-in-1934 sample makes me wonder why so many people worry so much about their lenses. This LEICA ELMAR 50mm f/3.5 is the lens that started 35mm photography.Įven uncoated, it gives sharp, colorful, contrasty images. I use Adorama, Amazon, eBay, Ritz, B&H, Calumet, J&R and ScanCafe. In all these two images, know that close and far objects aren't in focus: depth of field is always limited when you peer at them at 100%.
