LEICA THAMBAR-M 90 f/2.2
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
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.

TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP
Down to the last detail.
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.
