WOW, WOW, WOW 
This is surely the best 180mm I ever saw.
I was happy with my Sonnar 2.8/180. This Leica beats it.
and I'm still happy with my Sonnar.

...Summary
This lens outrun it's era about 15-20 years and is great example what is possible, when the money is not limiting factor in development. Even now, almost 40 years later, the APO-TELYT is top performing lens comparable to current top lenses, which costs 10 or more times more.
This lens truely opened my eyes, if you compare it to it's contemporary lenses (Sonnars, Takumars, Pentaxes, Pentacons) you realize that performance of this lens is from other galaxy. The negative side effects are this. You can't blame the lens for bad photo. The fault is always on the viewfinder side of your camera!
You want more of this kind of lenses, which keeps your check balance at constantly low numbers
Now the 2000� question is, how much better is APO-Elmarit 2.8/180?!
...Thank you, for viewing. |
Thank you BRunner for posting your review of the APO Telyt-R 180 f3.4 lens.
It was largely on the strength of your landscape and portrait photos that made me buy a lens today.
I have a Pentax K-1 that I bought a couple of months back and I shall convert the lens using a Leitax adapter for direct fitment to the K-1.
cheers,
David

can you tell from which serial number the neutral coating was applied?
The first 180mm 3.4 had a Leica green cast. The latter up to what serial? |
