Haha
thanks a lot farlymac !

 

[fer_fdi]

Ha, I was checking mine (your Series II), and I couldn't get it to go past 30 feet. Then I took the rear cap off. D'oh!

#10362xx LTM 3 element
74mm from bottom of flange to top of the 34mm filter ring
190 grams

PF

excuse me, that serial no. is from 1952, it is a 3 element and the serial you posted is wrong?

 

[fer_fdi]

still confused/amazed by the variation in size and weight... :S



David's 1934: 71.6mm, 271gr (I assume it's black and uncoated)

sred2006's 1953: 73.7mm, 194gr

someone's 1956: ?mm, 280gr aprox, A36 front, ltm

mdarnton's 1961: 85mm, 270gr (E39 front and grooved for clip-on hood)

Rico's 1961: 85mm, 240gr (E39 front and grooved for clip-on hood)





3 elements:

Rico's 3 el.: 76mm, 220gr

farlymac's 3 el.: 74mm, 190gr (assuming the serial no. he provided has a typo. Otherwise should be a 4 el. from 1952)

David, what's it's weight please?

Hi,

Been wondering about this all day, on and off.

So I rummaged around (...).

 

[splitimageview]

90/4 Collapsible, 340g, 79mm. Heavy sucker.

 

[Rico]

Heavy for sure. Without apology to 'cron 50 DR fans, I claim the Elmar 90 collapsible is the best built M lens by Leitz. The mechanical interlocks are brilliant. I do prefer the other Elmars for casual walkabout.

David, what's it's weight please?

Hi,

271g according to post 2 but I'd got it out ready to weigh before I remembered I'd done it before...

Regards, David

 

[fer_fdi]

oops! sorry and thank you

thank you! I didn't ask about the collapsible length and weight since it seems to be only one make

Yes although I figured I'd include it for someone's future reference.

yes, great, I didn't know it's extended length and it's good to compare it with the others. Thank you.

Also, it's 43.5mm when collapsed into the body

If the lens is not mounted, it's 63mm total length when collapsed (no front or rear caps in these measurements)

asking specs to a seller I collected data from another lens:

1956, 280gr aprox, A36 front, ltm
