Leica Elmar 50mm f/3.5 SR: 1147670

€550 EUR
SKU: B150W3496MR

Leitz Elmar 50mm f/3.5 (LTM)
Classic collapsible lens with timeless Leica rendering.

The Leitz Elmar 50mm f/3.5 is one of Leica’s most iconic screw-mount lenses, known for its compact design, collapsible barrel, and beautifully soft vintage rendering. Produced from the 1930s through the 1950s, this lens became the standard companion for Leica rangefinders and remains a favorite among collectors and photographers alike. Its four-element Tessar-type design delivers classic contrast and sharpness, especially when stopped down, making it ideal for both film and adapted digital use.

Key Features

  • Leica Thread Mount (LTM / M39)

  • Focal length: 50mm

  • Maximum aperture: f/3.5

  • Collapsible barrel design

  • Coated optics (later production model)

  • Lightweight, compact build

Condition

Used – Good condition
This lens shows light to moderate signs of use. The collapsible mechanism functions smoothly.

A well-preserved example for everyday shooting or display.
