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: It processes horribly fuzzily.
gollark: I was mostly talking about political campaigning, however. We would of course have to disguise their faces and voices.
gollark: Just force them to be written more along the lines of "please help these people afford food", instead of playing on human things with... what is it, sad music, pictures of specific people, sort of thing.
gollark: No, not exactly.
gollark: If you force people to STOP making emotional appeals, it may be somewhat better.
