Leica’s Thambar-M 90mm f/2.2 is the modern renaissance of another classic lens. Like its namesake from 1935, the contemporary incarnation of the lens is distinguished by its characteristic soft-focus effect and unmistakable bokeh. The 90mm focal length is suitable for photography in numerous scenarios and captures portraits with a uniquely aesthetic atmosphere that cannot be reproduced in digital post processing.
The Thambar’s distinctive, dreamily romantic look and unmistakeable bokeh are created by deliberately undercorrected spherical aberration, along with 20 aperture blades for the circular rendition of out-of-focus highlights. Because the aberration increases towards the periphery of the optical system, both the extension of the depth of field and the degree of diffusion can be precisely controlled via the stepless aperture ring.
