Product Overview
Leica Thambar-M 90mm F2.2 is a manual-focus short telephoto prime lens for Leica M-mount. It covers the Full-Frame image circle. Introduced by Leica in 2017, it has 4 elements in 3 groups.
Based on the classic Thambar lens originally released in 1935, it has a classic rendering that some modern photographers lust over.
Manual focus may be limiting to some, but purists will find it much more engaging. There are also fewer things to go wrong on the long run. Unfortunately, Leica has opted to omit weather sealing for this lens, so owners should pay extra attention when shooting in incremental weathers.
A telephoto prime lens, the Leica Thambar-M 90mm F2.2 is well suited for portrait photography. Those who like sunstars (sun bursts) will be pleased by the lens' even-numbered aperture count, though conversely those who find sunstars distracting may have the opposite feeling.
