It was only a few years on the market and now is a collectible item, a pity. In 1. 97. 3 The Elmar C was introduced for the CL body. This lens had four separate elements with four different glass types. The performance was much higher than before and now we have a high contrast image, good resolution from centre to mid zones and only the cornets were lacking in brilliance. A similar design was used in the latest Elmarit MR 2. It would have been easy for the design team to adopt this solution. Leica M9P Hermes Limited Edition JeanLouis Dumas with three lenses 50mm Noctilux, 50mm Summilux and 28mm Summicron. Also with a limited edition Hermes Camera Bag.

So a new calculation and optimization was done and the result is an outstanding lens. Again with four separate elements, but now the diameter of all lenses is almost the same. This helps to ease the rays through the surfaces with a small deflecction of the ray at the surface. If you look at the classical triplet design, you see that the middle lens is much smaller in diameter. Here the rays from the bigger front element are steeply deflected and this causes more aberrations. At full aperture the M E M 9. Curvature and astigmatism are absent and decentring as a measure for quality control during manufacture and assembly is not noticeable. The resolving power in the centre is above 1. Many lenses would be happy to have 5. At 1 5. 6 contrast increases a bit due to the reduction of internal reflections. At 1 8 the optimum is reached and this performance holds till 1 1. Only at 1 2. 2 there is a noticeable drop in micro edge contrast. This is one of the few lenses that perform equally well at all smaller apertures. The most interesting resolution can be found between the 1. In fact one wonders why the lens has not been given the APO designation. The Leica designers are very strict and they did not give the coveted star to the M E M. Cinema 4D R15 For. In the near range from 5. In the range from 5. Due to the slim depth of field you will most often stop down anyway. Vignetting is 1,8 stops and can be detected as is the distortion of 1, that will be noticed at very high magnifications. To answer this question no, the macro adapter cannot be used with other 9. M E M is specifically designed for the macro adapter.
