Hi all,
Could anyone with a Telemegor 180mm please measure its length and weight for me? I've tried googling for it about 10 different ways (even in German!) but found only a couple of (conflicting) sources on the weight, and nothing at all on the length.
Don't know how many different versions there are... I'm mainly interested in the black ones, even though the chrome appears to be slightly smaller, because a chrome lens of this size would just be way too conspicuous.
(I'm particularly curious about how it compares to the OM 200/5... as far as I've been able to gather the Telemegor seems to be definitely lighter (Zuiko is 380g, Telemegor 250-350g depending on source), but I have no idea about whether it's shorter, or by how much.) |

Thanks! That makes it a bit lighter and a bit longer than the Zuiko 200/5, which is 10.5cm according to here. |

Hmm... is it really possible that the 180/5.5 Telemegor is nearly 2cm longer than the 180/4 Elmar-R? |

Oh, sorry, I wasn't doubting your measurement! (And thanks for the photo.) It's just odd that an 180/4 would be shorter than an 180/5.5, and a Leica R no less (somehow I don't think those have a reputation for being small)... though it *is* almost twice as heavy. I guess lenses are just weird sometimes. |

No problem, you're welcome!
Indeed, different lens designs can lead to various constructions. _________________ My Flickr photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chantalrene/
