Leica Macro-Elmar-M 90mm Summarit-M Lens 90mm
The retractable design collapses this 90mm f/4 lens into a compact 553g package, while the multi-layer coating ensures high contrast and color neutrality. Its true macro capability unlocks with the optional Macro-Adapter-M, achieving a 1:2 reproduction ratio and a 16.1-inch minimum focus distance. This lens is best for Leica M shooters who need a portable telephoto for travel portraits that can also handle detailed close-up work.
