LEICA MACRO-ELMAR-M 90 mm f/4
LEICA MACRO-ELMAR-M 90 mm f/4(3) LEICA MACRO-ELMAR-M 90 mm f/4(2) LEICA MACRO-ELMAR-M 90 mm f/4(1)
The attractive set includes the LEICA MACRO-ELMAR-M 90 mm f/4 (black anodized or silver chrome-plated), the LEICA MACRO-ADAPTER-M for M 90 mm f/4 and the M ANGLEFINDER. It is a real boon for shooting in the macro mode, as when shooting flowers, insects and other close-up subjects, and is a great portrait lens.

Repeatedly we manage to surprise you with unusual, if not unique lens concepts. The new LEICA MACRO-ELMAR-M 90mm f/4 is one of these cases, in which the seemingly impossible was realized. You can use the LEICA MACRO-ELMAR-M 90mm f/4 either on its own or together with the LEICA MACRO-ADAPTER-M. 90 mm-lenses are traditionally very popular among Leica M photographers. Along with the 35- and 50mm-models, they belong to most standard outfits. With its low weight and compact dimensions the LEICA MACRO-ELMAR-M 90mm f/4 is first choice whenever you wish to limit your outfit to a minimum without forfeiting the maximum in image quality. Its performance is very good across the whole image field, and it stands any comparison with the already legendary LEICA MACRO-ELMARIT-R 100mm f/2.8.

LEICA MACRO-ELMAR-M 90 mm f/4 user reviews

    "I recently got the lens on my lieca m8. I have to tell you, before that I was taking good pictures, but ever since my new toy, the pictures have got a lot better. I mean the quality and the texture of the pictures have changed so much that my friends and family have noticed. I have got so much complements from my recent pictures thanks to my new Macro.

I usually use my lens for family pics, pictures of nature in closeups and so on..

Now I always thought a macro should get you closer to your objective, but for me this is the only drawback. I just need a little bit more. Maybe if I could take a picture of a bug real close or a beautiful flower or a bee on a plant or flower real close, closer that what is now which is very good, that would have been excellent.

Last I have to say overall I love my new lens 90mm f/4-M (SILVER) MACRO ELMAR 6-BIT and i give it 5stars.

If you have the money, do yourself a favor and give yourself an early Christmas gift and have some fun.

Peace.:-)"
