Alon Posted January 3, 2015 Share #21  Posted January 3, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) To a911Is's list I'd add:28-90/2.8-4.5 Vario-Elmarit-R asph 280/4 APO-Telyt-R.  I suspect that others would add the 70-180/2.8 APO-Elmarit-R, the 105-280/4.2 Vario-Elmar-R , and the 280/2.8 APO-Elmarit-R to the list but I have only hearsay to go on, not personal experience. And then there's the APO-Telyt-R modular system to consider.  Pete.  The 90AA is missing from the list  The list for the top Leica R "primes" is:  - 15mm f/2.8 Super-Elmarit-R ASPH - 28mm f/2.8 Elmarit-R II - 50mm f/1.4 Summilux-R II - 75mm f/2 Elcan-R - 80mm f/1.4 Summilux-R - 90mm f/2 APO-Summicron-R ASPH - 100mm f/2.8 APO-Macro-Elmarit-R - 180mm f/2.8 APO-Elmarit-R II - 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt-R  The Lux 35 + Cron180 + 280/2.8 are not part of the list.  Grand total approx €35.000.......only  N.B. The Elcan cost is not included. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocaburger Posted January 4, 2015 Share #22 Â Posted January 4, 2015 My Elmarit 28/2.8 v1 (11204) vignettes a lot and gets soft corners on my 5D1. It is otherwise a very sharp lens in the center of the frame but i cannot recommend it for a full frame Canon body. No problem with the Elmarit 28/2.8 v2 (11259 or 11333) but my favorite is the Zuiko 28/2. FWIW. Â Â I didn't find the V.1 28/2.8R any better than the EF 28/2.8 for which I think I paid around $130. Mechanically the EF feels like a POS by comparison, but it's held up about 15 years for me thus far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
