Leica M 90 Elmarit f2.8
Serial number: 2587771
Inluced: front / rear caps, Leica metal hood

I bought this 90 Elmarit to use temporarily while my 90 APO cron was being coded. I was quite pleased with the look of this lens as a portrait lens when shot wide open, and it gets quite sharp for landscape work by f5.6.

This lens is from around 1973. It's quite light and compact compared to my 90 APO cron. The body is relatively clean with a few signs of light brassing on the edges of the focus ring. There is a very small chip in the front element, near the edge of the lens, and a few thin scratch lines. Internally, the glass is clean and clear, and the rear element is clean. Aperture ring has nice solid "clicks". Focus ring is smooth, but a bit stiff.

Price: $375 Shipped (buyer to pay any fees or use Paypal "personal payment")
