The Elmar 105mm f/6,3 was designed for photography in the mountains and as a result , is small and lightweight often called “alpine” or “mountain-Elmar” because of its designated purpose,
it was not as successful has it had been hoped for, as it was not very fast ,it required slow shutter speeds which often resulted in blurred photographs , The advertising found in the Leitz price list 7333 b of April,1936 , was of an entirely different opinion and, after having described the use for which it was designed , praised its light weights,small size and concludes : Given the highly acetonic lighting that is found at high altitudes, there is certainly no need for high speed”
Some all chrome Leica 105/6,3 Mountain Elmar lenses can be encountered , there is no mention in Leitz prices lists or catalog of such model and are considered units which have been tampered with by private individuals .
