About Leica Thambar-M 90mm
Leica Thambar-M 90 mm f/2.2 A legendary classic lens reborn
Leica Camera is pleased to expand its line of classic lenses with the Leica Thambar-M 90 mm f/2.2. First introduced in the mid-1930s where only about 3,000 units were produced, the new Thambar-M 90 mm f/2.2 has the same optical design but a modified exterior. The lens still produces the same dreamy, soft focus look of the original 83-year old lens.
• Thambar is derived from the Greek word for "blurred" or "out-of-focus".
• The Thambar-M ensures the same distinctive, dreamy, romantic soft focus look as the original lens.
• The ability to adjust images in the camera's Live View monitor makes it easier to achieve the desired results with the Thambar-M.
Scope of delivery
As with the original Thambar of 1935, the lens hood, filter surround and both lens caps are made of metal. The hood can be attached to the lens back-to-front during transport.
Felt linings inside the lens hood and front cap serve to protect the metal surfaces from scratches.
A hard leather case in vintage brown keeps the Thambar perfectly secure, whereby the center spot filter can be safely stored in the lid. The leather case, designed to closely resemble the original quiver sold more than eighty years ago, ensures excellent protection during transport.
PLEASE NOTE
Use with the Leica M8 models is not recommended since the optical properties do not suit for smaller formats than 35 mm (24x36 mm).
