Leica revives the Thambar lens

Leica is to bring back its classic Thambar lens with the launch of its new Thambar-M 90 f/2.2. Originally released in 1935, the new Thambar inherits much of the optical design from its ancestor. Characterised by a ‘soft’ look as a result of deliberately under-correcting spherical aberration, the lens will cost £5,095.
