Leitz Summicron-M 1:2/90mm E55 Telelens

"The Leica Summicron-M 90mm f/2 is widely regarded as one of the most respected short telephoto lenses in the Leica M system. As part of the long-established Summicron lineage, it combines the classical strengths of Leica lens design—mechanical refinement, optical confidence, and practical elegance—with the distinctive perspective of a 90mm focal length. For many photographers and collectors, it represents one of the finest traditional portrait and short telephoto options available in the Leica M world.

What makes the 90mm Summicron-M especially appealing is the balance it offers between speed, focal length, and image character. With its bright f/2 maximum aperture and moderate telephoto perspective, it is especially well suited to portraiture, detail work, and situations where a more selective rendering is desired without moving into the size and complexity of longer lenses. Its reputation rests not on excess, but on refinement: a clear optical purpose, confident handling, and the mature balance expected from a classic Leica M lens.

In black finish, the lens carries an even stronger visual and collector presence, while preserving the understated functional elegance that defines Leica M equipment. For knowledgeable Leica enthusiasts, a black 90mm Summicron-M offers both practical photographic value and a distinctly refined collector identity.

Offered here is a beautiful Leica Leitz Summicron-M 90mm f/2 E55 lens in black finish, a highly desirable classic short telephoto lens for the Leica M system.
