tntrue Posted August 27, 2015 Share #6 Posted August 27, 2015 When I first read this thread I gueSSed incorrectly and explored the wrong SSource. Yesterday I SStumbled on the correct SSource and SScored the last on my list of "holy grail" lenses. Looks like the SSource has just today added even more Seldom Seen R glaSS. Many thanks to the thread starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
masjah Posted August 27, 2015 Share #7 Posted August 27, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Another UK dealer also has a 28-90 zoom (but their name starts with a colour, rather than a double letter) and theirs is a bit more expensive.

dkCambridgeshire Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted August 27, 2015 I think they must have l-l-listed t-t-two Mk 2 50/1.4 R lenses (the one with 60mm filter thread) … because one reappeared. Very scarce lens. dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tntrue Posted August 27, 2015 Share #9 Posted August 27, 2015 I managed to SSnag a 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt-R, and I see that they just listed another copy. Copies of the 28-90mm have appeared in various places lately, including one at the Big House in NYC. I managed to get a near-mint copy dirt cheap from a FFriendly store in Bangkok earlier this year.

sc_rufctr Posted August 31, 2015 Share #11 Posted August 31, 2015 I still love my Summilux-R 80mm. It never fails to impress and the price for a nice one right now makes them a steal IMO. One of the few Leica R lenses that will actually go up in value (again IMO) ... We'll see Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magosak Posted September 11, 2015 Share #12 Posted September 11, 2015 I am in the market for a 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt-R. There is one available for sale locally but the seller seems to think that he's got the last one in the world. Where's this secret society you've been talking about?

Hugh 38 Posted September 13, 2015 Share #13 Posted September 13, 2015 I have handled a 15 f2.8 and it was impressive. I would like to try one for doing interiors in ships . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.liam Posted September 16, 2015 Share #14 Posted September 16, 2015 Where's this secret society you've been talking about? Then it wouldn't be secret. My grails were the APOs (90, 100, 180, 280) and the 28 v.2, the greatest 28 SLR lens ever devised. The Society, though glacial in speed, always came through. Unless I get an A7IIR soon, I may part with my friends but this may be an painful separation. However, for me The True Grail will always be the 35-70 Vario-Elmarit.

Luvwine Posted October 2, 2015 Share #15 Posted October 2, 2015 I just picked up a 280/4. I am using it on an A7r2. Looking forward to giving it a workout. I am in the market for a 180 apo 2.8--preferably one that can accept a 1.4x.....Also would like a 2x apo rom extender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, none of the three they carry would accept the 1.4x. My quest continues.... I managed to find one. Feel like I bagged a unicorn as there were only 400 or so of the R 180/2.8 apo version 2 (11357) lenses produced! It is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Now, between that and the 280/4 I Recently picked up, my credit card bill is going to be ugly.... Now if I could just find a reasonably priced 2x apo extender rom version.....

james.liam Posted November 6, 2015 Share #19 Posted November 6, 2015 I managed to find one. Feel like I bagged a unicorn as there were only 400 or so of the R 180/2.8 apo version 2 (11357) lenses produced! . Other than being compatible with the TC, is there any real difference between v.2 and v.1?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
masjah Posted November 6, 2015 Share #20 Posted November 6, 2015 I've got the laterst version. Leica alaways said the performance was otherwise the same. I've often puzzled about whether the optics were completely identical. Clearly they would have had to move the inner lens element outwards (to give the clearance for the 1.4x extender) so maybe all that was needed was an alteration in the prescription of this element to compensate. Just my speculation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
