Leica Summicron-M 90mm f/2

Leica Summicron-M 90mm f/2 is a manual-focus M-mount telephoto prime with full-frame coverage and a fast f/2 aperture. Built for Leica rangefinder bodies, it is valued for its compact metal construction, precise mechanical feel and the classic rendering that made 90mm M lenses a staple for portraits, travel detail shots and discreet subject isolation. On digital M cameras it gives a useful short-telephoto field of view with plenty of subject separation, while on film Ms it sits in the familiar telephoto slot without excessive bulk. It has no autofocus or image stabilisation, and it is not weather sealed, so handling is very much traditional Leica: deliberate focus, careful framing and strong optical character rather than convenience features. Used examples are worth checking for smooth focusing, accurate infinity stop, clean glass, haze or fungus, aperture blade condition, and mount wear from repeated rangefinder use; on older copies also inspect for cleaning marks and any signs of separation or oily internals.
