"Four elements in three groups" sounds like a Tessar design or similar. Makes sense for that early time period. Basically, a Cooke Triplet, with an extra element in the rear.

I use the old 90mm 2.8 because it came with my M3, and I was blown away by how much I liked it! My first shoot with it on the M10, the model was like "Oh my God, it's perfect!". It's sharp enough to look sharp, but soft enough to be flattering. I was skeptical, but now I really love it.

Love all 3 lenses, the 90f4 you discussed for being so light using it more im Nature ( colours more cold bit natural ) , the 90mm preaspherical f2 gives an amazing moody look with a great bokeh and the Macro Elmar as you said is the sharpwst lens but also verdatile to use with the macro adapter, nice that you can focus to Infinitiv, even the macro adapter is installed (14652 number).

A very timely video for me, as I bought a 9 cm f/4 just this past week! I have it attached, at the moment, to my Canon P, since it has 100mm frame lines - good enough for guessing! I am going to mount it to my IIIf - also framing by guessing - just for giggles. 😊 I have tried it on my X-Pro2, and it is quite amazing!!! I also have a 34mm screw-in UV filter on it that accepts the stock lens cap perfectly. I appreciate the tip on the compatibility of the filters between it and the 35mm Elmar! I will have to give the lens hood a try, too!

I picked up the Hektor-LTM 135/4 at Leica Wetzlar about 1.5 months ago (~ 125 Euro). It came with a 135 mm viewfinder and a 35 mm to 135 mm variable frame line viewfinder for no added cost. I then got an LTM to M adapter and the lens is a gas to use on an M11 Monochrom. Matt, your review here has me thinking of getting one of the vintage 90 mm lenses too. The performance of the lens you show here is surprisingly good. I too thought the color photo you showed looked a little bluish before you mentioned it. The MTF charts of the modern Macro-Elmar-M 90/4, the Elmar-M 90/4, and the Hektor-LTM 90/4.5 are markedly different. It might be worth having all three (I have the Macro-Elmar-M). I agree that the Leica Summicron-M 90/2 and the Thambar-M 90/2.2 are very nice lenses. The latter is even useful for dreamy landscapes.

I own the Leica 90/4 collapsible M version (1957). Optically superb. Cheapest lens for me (mint!) because I got it for free won at a local auction which came in a bundle with IIIc camera, 50/2 Summitar, and 135/4.5 Hektor lenses (all for $250). The gained stop of light compared to my Leica 90/2.8 Elmarit version I (1972) can make a difference with film. I prefer the Elmarit because it is less heavy and has the same sharpness. Prices for those lenses have gone up in the past 2 years, so getting the more affordable 90/4 version is more attractive now. I only have the 90 mm lenses in M mount and therefore use them predominantly on my M3. Interesting to hear about the focal length - face feature proportion recommendation. In early videos you mentioned the price early on in the video which I preferred - did you move it towards the end because viewers stopped watching videos in full when you reviewed $$$$ lenses and saying the price upfront?

My favorite Leica 90mm is the tiny f/2.8 Tele-Elmarit from the 1970s-80s. I also have an Elmar, though…the 3-element version from the mid 1960s. I’d say they perform much the same, with the Elmar giving cooler results in color (typical of the time).

Nice lens, have several of them. BTW the collapsible version was M only. There is also a later 3 element 90/4 Elmar which is reportedly better, but never tried one. This lens works great on a Canon P (or VI-L or VI-T) with its lifesize 100mm parallax corrected frameline. Another reason to pick up that P. Of course the Canon 100/3.5 is tinier and better. You can also use it on your L3 with the Canon lumifield brightline 100mm finder which automatically parallax corrects on all V Series Canons (L1/L2/L3/VL/VL2/VT/VTdeluxe).

I've got the same setup, 9cm f4 Elmar on a iiig (and also have the viewfinder from when I had a iiif). Great thing about the iiig is it's already got a parallax corrected viewfinder. But, I don't want to get rid of the accessory finder just in case I get another Barnack.. My 9cm Elmar cost £95 from ebay in August last year and is in excellent optical condition. I've heard there's a 9cm Elmarit f2.8 as well, but they are supposed to be pretty rare in L39 fitment.

The reason it has two aperature scales is because the scales rotate with the lens barrel as you focus. If it only had one, the scale might end up at the bottom at the correct focus setting. All post war Elmar's were single coated, the 90 is extremely sharp at f8.

"Compression by the 200 mm lens." Such a simple line can ignite a the part of my brains which brings back old memories. It often happens when enjoying your vlogs. It makes me happy thinking of the past when I run an ILFORD FP3 through my SLR. Your Leica vlogs are not just for Leica fans and fools. Everbody can find important info in it to improve his skills.. My friends were thinking I got mad, when they noticed I had screwed on a 200 mm on my Asahi Pentax to make portraits in 1966. I did not like my my Takumar f/4 - 200 mm, because of its focusing distance. So I traded it for a Tamron 1 3,5 - 200 mm. A great lens with a close focus to 1,50 m and a 62 mm filter plus a rotating tripod mount. I was considered being crazy for trading the Takumar. My clssic full metal Tamron 200 mm was built like a tank; in the year 2022 it makes nice portraits at close focus on Fomapan 400. And the newest generation of photographers thin I mut be nuts. Well, I feel very fine and so does my Tamron.

Thanks for this video. It inspired me to load a roll in my iiia and shoot a roll of ultrafine extreme 100 @ 160 using the 9cm that came "free" with the camera. I managed to have all the frames in focus and most acceptably exposed. Some of the images are very nice and I'm slowly learning how to use it. One thing I wonder if you could cover is the learning curve necessary to use this old gear. You touch on this a bit in this video.

Hi Alan, congrats on using your iiia! :) In terms of learning curve the cameras are very basic so you can just pick it up and shoot.

Great review, Matt. I have the rigid Elmar 90mm f3.5 (1957 ) as well as the collapsible version (also 1957). You are spot on with the features. The collapsible weighs a ton but it's such a lovely lens who cares. The rigid is a delight to use (the build quality is superb), smooth as butter and as you say, its contrast is good. By sheer coincidence another Elmar 50mm/3.5 hood arrived yesterday as I had to share one with the 35mm/3.5 Summaron and the Industar 50mm/3.5. Leica, I'm sure, envisioned a hood would always be in place. Over five years of use, including travel between here and the Highlands, and this Elmar is everything you've so well described. Now, if only I had a IIIf or g....

Is it possible that the supposedly parallax corrected viewfinders can go out of alignment or anything like that? I have a VIOOH that I use with my IIIf but I find that it is basically impossible to frame my shots accurately, whether I am shooting a 50mm or 135mm - I never get the shot I think I’m getting! Even when I get the distance dialed in completely accurately… I have no explanation for why it’s so bad, nor do I know how anybody ever put up with this 70 years ago… I could always frame loosely and crop in post, but I’m not so keen on that idea. I’d rather just get what I want on the neg.
