jaapv Posted August 7, 2012 Share #61 Â Posted August 7, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Have you tried one with an eye cup?It really does increase contrast. I use the e-clypse 1.25. I think $100 used. I have exactly this somewhere in the back of my cupboard...One with the 1.15 too I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Hi jaapv, Take a look here 135mm f/3.4 APO-Telyt-M user feedback & recommendation?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
01af Posted August 7, 2012 Share #62  Posted August 7, 2012 I've just noticed that LR4.1 shows the EXIF information for this lens ... Yeah—but the wrong one  I guess "Leica APO-TELYT-M 135 mm f/3.4 ASPH." is supposed to mean "Leica Apo-Telyt-M 135 mm f/3.4" and "Leica Apo-Summicron-M 50 mm f/2 Asph" at the same time, because the very same text will be displayed for both lenses. Oh well. At least someone finally told them that there goes a blank between "135" and "mm". Therefore, they now foolishly print the lens name in all-capital letters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted August 7, 2012 Share #63  Posted August 7, 2012 Woops - O1af - as ever your eye for detail picks up on thing's I hadn't registered Are you sure about the 135 getting the same profile as the 50? On the drop down of lenses the 135 Apo-Telyt-M 135 f3.4 is correctly described... Welcome, dear visitor!

01af Posted August 7, 2012 Share #64  Posted August 7, 2012 Are you sure about the 135 getting the same profile as the 50? As far as Leica's in-camera profiles are concerned—no, of course not. But these profiles address vignetting and colour (red edges; Italian-flag syndrome) only.  Regarding the profiles in Camera Raw & Lightroom—yes, unfortunately, simply because the Adobe software cannot properly discriminate between these two lenses. However these profiles address distortion only, and the distortions are fairly similar in these two lenses. In the 50 mm Apo-Summicron, it has the same shape basically but is weaker, so simply reducing the strength of the Telyt's correction to, say, 40 % or thereabouts should do.  But then, the Apo-Summicron-M 50 mm Asph isn't out yet anyway. By the time it actually becomes available, Adobe might bring an update to fix the issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dritz Posted August 16, 2012 Share #65 Â Posted August 16, 2012 I have dusted off my copy of the lens and placed it for sale in this Forum. It should be used rather than stored. Â Dean Ritz Seattle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
