Leica Elmar-M 65mm f/3.5 - Leica Visoflex Mount

The Leica Elmar-M 65mm f/3.5 is a dedicated macro lens designed specifically for use with the Leica Visoflex reflex housing. It features a preset aperture diaphragm and is highly regarded for its flat field and excellent sharpness, making it a capable tool for close-up and scientific photography. Its optical design allows for a generous working distance compared to shorter macro lenses. Check that the preset aperture ring operates correctly and that the blades are clean. Because this lens is often used with the OTZFO universal focusing mount, ensure the threads and bayonet mount are in good condition. We inspect the elements for the usual signs of age, including dust and coating degradation, which can impact contrast.
