Taken on my Lumix G1. Handheld inside the planthouses at the Botanic Garden today - heavy overcast and not much light available so little choice but to use a 'wide' aperture at ISO 400. I think images are starting to get noisy at 640.
A very different lens to my Sigma AF 105, although it's not really fair to compare JPEG results from different cameras. The Macro Elmar somehow seems less 'brash' . . . I think it's a really nice performer.
This at full aperture, f4:
This with the little built-in flash at f8:
This also at full aperture:
This isn't the Botanic gardens, but it is also at full aperture

Rendering and colors are looking similar and in an old Colorphoto magazine test they both had virtually identical test results (+-2% or something like that)

Perhaps true, we never know for sure what was more profitable to any maker.

Maybe so. The 100/4 Macro Elmar R appeared in 1978 according to the literature I have (the little Hove books and Puts' big book). The Leitz/Minolta 'co-productions' started to come out in 1973/74 so there could indeed be a relationship between the two lenses. My recollection of 1970s Minolta lenses isn't too good - did they make their 100 Macro as a lens head to use on a bellows in the same way that Leitz did?
