Is the leica elmarit m 90mm f 2 8 worth it?

Yes, I'd say it's worth a look, mostly because it's a common, affordable used 90mm, and 90mm is a lovely length for portraits. It's manual focus only, so you'll be focusing by eye, which suits slower, deliberate shooting.

It fits a long run of Leica M bodies. The Leica M11 and Leica M10 are the newer choices, and the Leica M (Typ 240) pairs with it just as well.

It's only worth it if you'll actually shoot people or distant subjects. For everyday use, a 50mm is more versatile. The 90mm's background blur shows best on full frame, so check Is full frame worth it? before you commit. For more on portrait lengths, see Portraits.
