Title: Leica Elmar-C 90mm f/4 with lens hood
Description:
In very good cosmetic and fully functioning condition with dedicated rubber collapsible lens hood. Originally produced for the Leica CL camera. Glass is clear with occasional dust. I've happily used it on Leica M4-P, M5, CL, and on Fuji XE3 and been delighted with the results on all. No longer picking it up though, so time for it to find a new home. |
