Doug, yet more superb images. Can I display my ignorance of the "560/6.8". Is it one of the older long telephotos? How would its performance compare with the 280/4 Apo plus 2X Apo Extender (the latter of course losing half a stop being f/8)?

 

 

The 560mm f/6.8 Telyt is the old sliding-focus doublet from about 1971.  I finds the image detail in the plane of focus to be quite good however I have not done any direct comparisons with the 280 APO + 2x APO Extender-R.  A more notable difference than the image plane is in the out-of-focus rendering where the 560 shows considerable green/magenta color fringes depending on the subject contrast and structure, and the 280+2x APO extender shows very little of this artifact.

I've seen Marc Sijan's work in Coconut Grove, Florida where he has shown for probably 30 years;  just amazing sculptures!

M240 with 35mm Summilux-R @ f/1.4 . . . 

 

For some reason this M has stopped writing the lens name to EXIF, even though the lens is correctly identified on the camera's info screen, and it still writes its aperture "guess" to EXIF . . .   :blink:

I post this one because I find it interesting how you can make nice macro-work with the APO-Telyt R 280/4.0 with the APO Extender 2x. It was taken from a distance of ~1m80 and it was only cropped in the sense of making it square instead 2:3. It's quite a weight and a package to carry but once held in the hand this weight seems to contribute to the possibility to make images without image blur. I'm really surprised. The focus assistance in the SL was of great help here.

Agree. The SLs EVF focus shines when taking photos of (quasi)static subjects like this. And that 280mm APO-R...  ;) .

Atrium in a shopping mall, M240 with 19mm Elmarit-R v. II . . . 

 

The Leica wiki shows this lens to be a Dr. Mandler design, but some members stated otherwise.  So I emailed to Leica to obtain a definitive answer.

 

A very helpful gentleman replied to say that the question had been put to his colleagues, but that the answer might be delayed due to a holiday season in Wetzlar.  After a few more weeks, the same person was kind enough to follow up with the answer:

 

"The design of this lens started approx. 1983 and was finished approx. 1988/89. The launch of the ELMARIT-R 2.8/19mm was on photokina 1990. At this time Mr. Lothar Kölsch was in charge of the Optical-Design Office. He and his team have designed the lens."

 

I am very appreciative of the Leica employee and the company in general for the conscientious manner in which this simple request for information was processed.  With this kind of thoroughness a part of the company's ethos, it is no wonder that so many of the lenses produced by the company are not only in use decades later, but are still state of the art.  My copy of the 19mm Elmarit-R v. II, now twenty-eight years old, is a good example of this.

 

Moderator, this thread may be moved to a more appropriate context if so desired (with underlined text deleted).
