Dhuff Posted October 16, 2014 Share #1 Posted October 16, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Colleagues, This topic may have been covered before, but I am new to the S forum and looking for some direct input. I just recently obtained an S and am set with studio and wide angle lenses. However, I would like to obtain a lens in the 200-300mm (effective) range for outdoor nature use. I know that both Hasse and Contax are candidates with the new adapters. Any advice? Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeicaS2 Posted October 20, 2014 Share #2 Posted October 20, 2014 Contax seems the best way to go. I have not purchased one, but the combination of a used 350mm for about $4,000 and a Contax to S mount for $1,995 gets you a very nice AF tele for $6,000. A 350 S was discussed when the S2 was introduced, but we have not heard any since. Frankly I am waiting for the S which will probably run $10,000 new.

Likaleica Posted October 21, 2014 Share #3 Posted October 21, 2014 I haven't used one, but the MTF curves on the Contax Zeiss 350 scare me off. There is no great answer, although I (and many others) wish there were. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
