Some more with the 60/2.8 R macro.
Weekend carnival pack-up.
Nice to see you get out of your backyard
I like the license plates, bark and leaves shots!
(BTW, Carsten -- I saw your derelict Berlin amusement park this last weekend featured at the end of the movie of "Hanna". You really covered that place well -- I knew it immediately!)
Ha, interesting! I'll have to keep my eyes open for that movie.

Carsten -- Ha-ha! True enough!
When doing comparisons on lenses and bodies, that backyard is so darned convenient, and the subjects are like having studio set-up with good lighting!

Has anyone ever used the vario Elmar 105-280/4.2?

I think one guy here probably did (as he owned or owns pretty much every Leica R lens), but if you can get 105-280mm f4.2 then definetly buy it, you cant go wrong with that lens.

remember who that was?
From what I read people are complaining about the weight, but I havn't found much about the IQ.

I recall that back in the day when people were using the DMR, they were raving about this lens, for a zoom. Unfortunately a lot of that information got lost when the DMR Bible got nuked. You could ask Guy and Jack over on getdpi.com, they used to own this lens.

Dima, a little off-topic here: how does it feel to live in Japan?

Tech: It is a really strange country. You know you always hear the saying "Japan - land of contrasts"...they always mean the obvious - old traditions and ways side by side with high tech. It is really country of amazing contrast, but in a completely different sense.
It's like living in USSR populated exclusively by investment bankers.
You know cognitive dissonance? The amount of discomfort your brain is exposed to here is truly mind boggling!

thanks ddyager and carsten. I looked through the thread and the 105-280 seems to deliver quite good quality. I wonder though how much of it is due to the lacking AA filter of the Leica DMR system. I intend to use it on a HD video camera with rather dense pixels due to the small sensor of 1/3" video. I guess though it ought to produce better quality than the NIkon 80-200/2.8 AF-D ED plus 1.4 converter we are using now. The problem with this is that it is hard to get accurate focus with it due to it being an AF lens. Also difraction sets in already at 5.6 (theoretically already at 2.8 due to the small sensor, but practically it is ok up to 5.6).
Any more suggestens are welcome, it needs to be a zoom though between around 100 and 300 mm.
