I am hosting a photo walk through the National Rhododenderon Gardens in Olinda next Sunday for a Aussie photo forum i belong to.

So today it was a scouting day, i took my Sigma SD14 and 2 primes. A Leica Elmarit-R 28/2.8 and the Elmarit-R 135/2.8.

Here are 2 shots with the 135 wide open, i am really enjoying this lens, it is a joy to use.

Nice! Leicas are built to be used wide open. Wink

Please, educate me: What is an SD14R?

Hi luis,

It is a modified body by SigmaCumLaude, They remove the Sigma SA mount and fit a custom mount. Mine is a 14R as it has the Leica R mount fitted.

The choices offered are Leica R, Nikon, Olympus OM. Available for special order are Contax CY and Canon FD.

It is great, no need for adapters, just a cupboard full of Leicas Very Happy

This shot was about f5.6 i think Embarassed i should start documenting images...



These Proteas were stunning, the open flower was over 200mm in diameter!
