Gregm61 Posted August 19, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Pump house from across the lake, with downtown beyond. This lens is as sharp as any I own. Art Deco detail of the spillway/dam. To downtown architecture closeups.. To storm forming in the distance..

Advertisement Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 Hi Gregm61, Take a look here 135mm f3.4 Telyt- Images From Today With The M262. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
a.noctilux Posted August 20, 2018 Share #2 Posted August 20, 2018 Greg Storm picture is the nicest "shade of gray" I've seen so far. No "white clipping" (on my screen) to tell that is from digital file. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverover Posted August 21, 2018 Share #3 Posted August 21, 2018 Excellent photos and IQ. I am starting to experiment with this same lens. I am curious, were these taken hand-held or with tripod? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregm61 Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted August 21, 2018 Thanks. All handheld. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bocaburger Posted August 31, 2018 Share #6 Posted August 31, 2018 My 135 APO was one of the best lenses I've ever owned. Tbh though as much as I tried, including with cropping and magnification, neither I nor any other Leica photographers I showed images to could consistently pick out the APO shots from ones made with my 1965 Tele-Elmar, or for that matter my 1960 Elmar. That's not to knock the APO, it's to applaud Leica for having designed a trio of magnificent 135's over the years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregm61 Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share #8 Posted August 31, 2018 My 135 APO was one of the best lenses I've ever owned. Tbh though as much as I tried, including with cropping and magnification, neither I nor any other Leica photographers I showed images to could consistently pick out the APO shots from ones made with my 1965 Tele-Elmar, or for that matter my 1960 Elmar. That's not to knock the APO, it's to applaud Leica for having designed a trio of magnificent 135's over the years. They are, all excellent. I also have a very good copy of the 135mm f4 Tele Elmar and a virtually mint copy of the 135mm f4 Elmar, also from 1960, that's easier to focus accurately because the focus throw is SO long. Given the option, I prefer using the APO. Ergonomics are better than either of the other two 135's and identical to the other lenses in my bag like the 75mm f2 APO and 35/1.4 FLE, my 135 APO is brand-new so came factory six-bit coded, the built-in hood makes it too convenient for filter placement when I use color filters with the M246, the filter size is a match for the other longer focal length I use it in tandem with, the 75mm f2 and, being 40 years newer than one of the other 135's and 50 years newer than the other, it benefits from modern optical improvements/coatings. It was one freakin' expensive lens, that's for sure, but I do love the thing. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
