Elmarit

The name Elmarit is used by Leica to designate camera lenses that have a maximum aperture of f/2.8.

Leica Elmarit-M 90 mm f/2.8
Leica Macro Elmarit-R 60 mm f/2.8

History

The Elmarit is a derivation of the Elmar. Confusingly not all f/2.8 lenses are Elmarits. The 50 mm f/2.8 collapsible, manufactured until 2007, was designated an Elmar rather than an Elmarit.[1]

Description

The Elmarit are popular lenses for extreme focal lengths: 21 mm, 24 mm, 28 mm and 90 mm. The Elmarit has also come in 135mm super-telephoto.[2]

Market positions

The Elmarit are behind the Summicron and the Summarit lenses. Only the Elmar and most Summaron lenses have a smaller f-number.

gollark: I was able to find, *somehow*, what looks like the source of the FM radio native code/app from about four years ago on github.
gollark: I think it would be somewhere between "install original ROM's FM radio app as a privileged system app" (fine) and "reverse engineer SoC FM tuner and implement own frontend" (not doing that).
gollark: I wonder how much eldritch horror would be necessary in order to make the FM radio hardware in my phone work on this custom ROM.
