I recently purchased a Leica R 80 1.4 and am wondering if anyone can advise as to where to acquire a rubber focus ring replacement.

 

Thank you,

Rob

 

 

I have a rubber band (without the ribbles/texture) that fits exactly in place... pm me for details :)

To keep the 80mm Summilux-R thread here alive a bit I'll post a few new photos I shot with the lens on my R8.

 

Workshop image review, not for me since I'm shooting the R8...

It's interesting to note that a lot of my younger students use liveview more than their viewfinders, and they all rather have a EVF than a OVF. It's the older generation (and I'm not even that old at 24) that likes the OVF better.

The 80/1.4 is the crown jewel fo the Leica R lenses. Close to the Noctilux f/1.0 look. I think it's pretty sharp. 

 

Look at the samples on my page with the DMR digital back. That's how it will be on a digital body (Leiac SL or M included)

This one is at f/2.4

I beg to disagree that the Lux 80 is the "crown jewel fo the Leica R lenses".

 

The Lux 80 is a very good lens with lots of personality to the extent that I have 2 copies.

 

The crown jewel for the Leica R lenses belongs to the 280/4 APO, the Lux 50 E60 and the 90AA.

May I add the APO-Elmarit 180/2.8

 

And the crown jewels for the M belong to the 75 Summilux.

Apo-Summicron 180/2.

Big and heavy but marvelous with aperture wide open. I love it (attached to my Nikon D4s with Leitax) Edited by wpo
