Leica Elmar 50mm f/3.5 LTM Lens (Silver)

The Leica Elmar 50mm f/3.5 LTM is a manual focus standard prime lens built for Leica’s M39 Leica Thread Mount screw mount rangefinder system, representing one of the most historically significant lens designs in Leica’s optical lineage. At 50mm with an f/3.5 maximum aperture, it delivers a natural field of view well suited to everyday photography, portraiture, and street work. The collapsible barrel design allows the lens to retract to a notably compact profile when not in use, consistent with the slim and portable character of the Leica screw-mount rangefinder system. The Elmar’s four-element Tessar-type optical formula has been a cornerstone of Leica’s lens production since the earliest days of the Leica camera system, and it holds considerable historical significance within both Leica collecting and the broader history of photographic optics. Compatible with Leica M39 LTM screw mount rangefinder bodies, and adaptable to Leica M-mount and other systems via appropriate adapters.
