Ernst Leitz Wetzlar Elmar 9cm f/4 (LTM)

[Nordentro]

This lens can still be found relatively cheap (compared to other ELW lenses)

It's sleek and tiny and fits small cameras very well.
It's not known as a big performer and is not one of my favorites, but I still like the lens



Looking for a small LTM in the same range? I would recommend the black&silver Canon 100mm f/3.5 (LTM)
It's slightly smaller, faster, sharper and more contrasty than the 9cm Elmar. Click to see bigger pictures from the Elmar!

i have the elmar-c 90/4 which i think is substantially similar, though mine is in black. i love it for portraits...

I like that lens a lot and think it's much better than its reputation.
