Leitz 90mm f/4 Elmar
The Leitz 90mm f/4 Elmar is a compact short telephoto made by Leitz Wetzlar for its Leica rangefinder system, produced across several decades from the 1930s onwards in both 39mm screw (LTM) and later M bayonet mounts. It was the standard portrait-and-landscape companion to the 50mm Elmar, valued for its small size, modest maximum aperture and straightforward four-element design. This listing covers the model generically, so exact variant, mount and production era should be confirmed against the individual lens.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the 90mm f/4 Elmar have ranged from about £38 for tired screw-mount examples up to £138 for tidy user copies, with a median around £75–£80 in today's market. Rarer or exceptional variants have pushed well beyond that — standout hammer results of £325, £450 and £500 show what clean or collectible examples are worth, while one outlier fetched £3,200 in 2024, almost certainly a scarce early or black-paint version. These figures are auction hammer results only, so what a dealer sells for at retail will sit meaningfully above this wholesale level.
