LEICA ELMAR-M 50 mm f/2.8

This extremely compact lens collapses into the camera body and carries on the tradition of the legendary Elmar lenses on earlier
Leica cameras. This design was updated optically and mechanically to a modern standard without compromises. The use of highrefraction optical glass and an intelligent new optical computation led to outstanding overall performance. A classic medium-speed
lens with minimal dimensions and a low weight make this a highly versatile lens for many applications.

The MTF is indicated both at full aperture and at
f/5.6 at long taking distances (infinity). Shown
is the contrast in percentage for 5, 10, 20 and
40 lp/mm accross the height of the 35 mm film
format, for tangential (dotted line) and sagittal
(solid line) structures, in white light. The 5 and
10 lp/mm will give an indication regarding the
contrast ratio for large object structures.The
20 and 40 lp/mm records the resolution of finer
and finest object structures.

Vignetting is a continous decrease of the illumination to the edges of the image field. The graph
shows the percentage lost of illumination over the
image height. 100% means no vignetting.

Distortion is the deviation of the real image height
(in the picture) from the ideal image height. The
relative distortion is the percentage deviation.
The ideal image height results from the object
height and the magnification. The image height of
21.6mm is the radial distance between the edge and
the middle of the image field for the format 24mm x
36mm. The graph of the effective distortion illustrates the appearance of straight horizontal and vertical lines in the picture.
