jplomley Posted June 16, 2017 Share #5 Posted June 16, 2017 Anyone care to post an image or two. I'm in the same boat. Just picked up an SL and am shooting with my 21 SEM, 28 Cron Asph, 50 Lux Asph and 90 APO and am considering the 135. Interested in colour, contrast etc as this is a lens designed pre-digital, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaR10 Posted June 16, 2017 Share #6 Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) Frame-it & Jplomley, I use the 135mm Apo-Telyt-M f/3.4 for landscape and street photography. It is superb on the SL; easy to focus, excellent balance, resolution, color, contrast and with the right light, 3D pop. It has a great way of drawing. www.PebblePlace.com has a good write up about the lens with photo examples. I also get beautiful images with the M10 using the Visioflex finder. Without the Visioflex finder, the lens for me, is hard to nail focus. You won't be disappointed. Last, you can always rent the lens via LensRentals and try before you buy. r/ Mark Edited June 16, 2017 by LeicaR10 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott kirkpatrick Posted June 16, 2017 Share #9 Posted June 16, 2017 I like the 135, but have always found it difficult to use on the M9 or on the M240, as rangefinder focusing is at its limits. But this thread got me to try mine on the M10, with a Visoflex VF20 mounted, and it was rather enjoyable, using the rangefinder just to get started, then fine-focusing with magnification. Here are two samples: L8001386 by scott kirkpatrick, on Flickr L8001385 by scott kirkpatrick, on Flickr The improved high ISO performance of the M10 made this a relatively easy exercise, but the long lens still feels unbalanced on that little camera. I think I will continue to use the 135 on the SL. scott 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
