 Re: What is your most recent (alt) lens purchase? | |
1.Leitz Apo Telyt R 180/3.4 - mint,347xxxSN,from the first owner and at a very reasonable price.
Results of routine tests clearly show,that this is the best apo-corrected lens in my hoard,within 180-200mm focal range.It overcame the Leitz R 180/2.8,C/Y Sonnars 180/2.8 MM and AE,Nikkor 180/2.8 AIS ED,Sigma Apo Macro 180/5.6 and Olympus 180/2.8.
From the 200mm realm The Apo Telyt R 180/3.4 bested out : Zeiss C/Y 200/3,5,Zeiss C/Y 200/4,Zeiss Jena 200/2.8,Minolta Rokkors MC/MC PF 200/3.5,Minolta Rokkors MC/MD 200/4 (supposed to have one big apo glass in the front!),Canon FD SSC 200/4,Canon FD SSC 200/2.8,2xCanon nFD 200/4,Nikkor 200/4 AIS,Pentax M 200/4,Yashica ML 200/4.Rolleinar (Mamiya made) MC 200/3.5,2xOlympus OM 200/4 ,2xOlympus OM 200/5,Konica Hexanon AR 200/3.5 (The closest follower-almost no CA/LoCA wide open!),Pentax M 200/4,Pentacon 200/4 m42.
....uuffffff!
I would't even consider such quick,but extensive and time consuming comparison,if I weren't forced to stay sick at home with plenty of time left!
2.Leitz Macro Elmar 100/4 "helical" - i.e. not for bellows,but for cameras - mint,boxed and reasonably priceed.It is a very simple construction (4/3),not a true macro (going down only to 1:3 without tubes),yet very usefull,AND able to produce all relevant Leica goodies -i.e. colours and sharpness across the FF frame,no matter the distance/aperture combination.
3.Zeiss Jena Biometar 120/2.8 for Pentacon Six 6x6cm-a very nice lens for what it is.
