Leica 9cm f4 Elmar (Type I, Rigid) (ELANG-M / ELGAM / 11830 / 11130) - Lens

Manual focus telephoto lens made for M-mount rangefinder cameras introduced by Leica in 1954. Leica made three different versions of this lens. This is the "Rigid" first version of the lens. It has a removable front lens head (ERKOM / 11128) for use with the Visoflex II, IIa, and III. Early lenses are engraved in either feet or meters; later lenses use a dual scale. Although it is known as the "rigid" version, this has a finer knurling than the later version from 1963. A close-focus adapter (OMIFO) was available for the lens. Metal body available in silver (11830 / 11130).
