Macro Elmar-R 100mm F4
I'm considering the purchase of a Macro-Elmar-R 100mm F4 as a cheaper alternative to the Apo-Macro-Elmarit-R 100mm F2.8. Its main use will be for close focus work (flowers, etc)
Does anyone have experience with this lens? How good is it?

Re: Macro Elmar-R 100mm F4
Best used in close range. Stop to F8 for distant subjects. I returned my borrowed sample and bought the FAR better 100 APO which is sharper at any distance and stop.
It is not a bad lens for its time, just not as good. |

Re: Macro Elmar-R 100mm F4
I've the lens and enjoy.. a little dark sometimes for focusing...f8 is best, yeah. Anyway, a lot cheaper alternative to the APO 2.8. I'd go for it. I"ve been real satisfied with mine, for portraits and close-ups.
