Very nice photos. Wonder how this zoom compares to the APO Telyt 135mm f 3.4 and apo telyt 3.4 180mm!
Hi Chris,
I do not have nor have never used, nor owned the 135mm f3.4 Apo-Telyt. But, I have the R 80-200mm f4 Vario Elmar as well as the R 180mm f3.4 Apo-Telyt. The Vario Elmar is a very nice, sharp, and capable lens, but it is not as sharp, certainly at or approaching infinity as the 180mm Apo-Telyt where that lens performance shines in particular. Also, from my experience, the 180mm Apo-Telyt performs much better than is often reported in the closer to medium distances.
