A Legend Returns.

Following the re-issue of the Summaron-M 28 f/5.6, Leica are now further expanding their line of classic lenses with the Thambar-M 90 f/2.2. Once again, the exterior design has been carefully modified, while the optical calculations remain unchanged. The original Thambar occupies a unique place in the history of Leica lenses. Manufactured from 1935, it achieved a relatively low production volume of 2,984 units, which partly explains its great popularity among collectors.

BLINDED BY BEAUTY

BLINDED BY BEAUTY - Create a truly distinctive look.

The name of the lens is based on the Greek term thambo – meaning ‘blurred, smudged, out-of-focus’. Figuratively, it can also be understood as ‘me thambose me teen omorfia tis’: ‘to be blinded by beauty’. The Thambar gives rise to a romantic aesthetic – enabling the photographer to consciously achieve a very distinctive look.

The new Leica Thambar-M 90 f/2.2 is meticulously crafted to the highest quality standards, with a primary focus on high-grade materials and long-term durability. As with the original Thambar of 1935, the lens hood, filter surround and both lens caps are made of metal. The protective leather case has also been designed to closely resemble the original quiver sold more than 80 years ago.
