The Leitz 5cm (50mm) f3.5 Elmar Lens is historic, marking its significance as the initial lens made for one of the world's first interchangeable lens 35mm cameras. It's known for its compact, lightweight design, and remarkable performance. The Elmar collapses almost flush with the face of the camera when not in use, enhancing its portability.
Originally designed with the M39 thread mount, Leitz transitioned to the M-mount production for this lens in 1954, coinciding with the launch of the Leica M3. This lens is recognized for its optical quality, providing a solid performance for nearly three decades.
