What the 180 APO-Telyt-R was designed for...

Not my usual type of photo subjects - but along they came and there I was with my Canon 5D2 and this lens (designed originally by ELCAN on a U.S. Navy contract for military surveillance work). Shots at f/3.4.

 

Small insets show the full frame.

Thanks Andy!

Amazing that it is possible to get such sharp image details out of such a large magnification.

Incredibly sad that there is no Leica DSLR where this lens can be used.

 

Anyway, our F16 fighter jets starting to get old now,- it´s a bit of concern in this country that the new F35 planes are not delivered on time. But that´s another story.

I just thought I´d mention it if someone responsible within Locheed also read the Leica Forum.:D:D:D

I agree. These are incredible shots for the amount of crop and the sharpness of both.

Boy, do I miss the F16's at our ANG base in Fort Wayne. They were replaced by A10's which are going to be replace by NC6 Recon planes. Where are the F35's?:confused:
