At a Glance

This 90 mm short telephoto with an f/1.5 maximum aperture is a wide-opening lens for full frame Leica M bodies. At 1.01 kg it is heavy, and it focuses manually down to 1 m with a magnification of 0.11x. The aperture ring has half-stop detents. The shallow depth of field at full aperture makes it a match for portraits.

Good for

  • Portraits

Worth knowing

  • No autofocus: focusing is manual only.
  • At 1 kg it is heavy: a monopod or tripod helps for longer sessions.
