a beautiful example of a 1931 9cm Fat Elmar in black enamel with both caps<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. The 9cm Elmar was made from 1931 to 1968 – nearly 40 years. It was an early addition to the Leica stable once interchangeable lenses were marketed. The 9cm focal length had a pleasant presentation of head and bust size portraits.<\/p>\n

In 1931 and 1932, the 9cm Elmar was sold in the so called ‘fat<\/a>‘ mount – reminiscent of the mount for the faster 73mm Hektor lens. After 2 years the mount was offered in the\u00a0‘thin’ version. Production of the ‘fat’ Elmar lasted 2 years and totalled just under 2,500 made – under 1,000 in 1931. The very earliest 9cm Elmars have neither an external serial number, nor a means to adjust a rangefinder as the focussing mount is turned.<\/p>\n

You don’t have one in your collection yet? Well are you in luck, A 1931 Fat Elmar 9cm lens in beautiful black enamel with neither a serial number nor linkage to a rangefinder will be offered in its own brown leather case at the June 25 & 26 Port Colborne auction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Note. The title for this post is a riff on the old saying (no so in this case), “the fat’s in the fire<\/a>“.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
