J.Nordvik Posted February 29, 2020 Share #41 Posted February 29, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think the distance is 1500-1600 meters, and the length of the crop is about six meters. Even with a good tripod I had to take several pictures to get it as good as this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eev776 Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share #42 Posted February 29, 2020 When I put it all together, it looks like this, probably need a bigger tripod now. Welcome, dear visitor!

I use a slightly bigger kit (the R80-200 + 2x APO) for handheld (sometimes with chest tripod) birding. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cityscape photography mostly, architecture, landscapes, skies. In my professional work I do photography to create CG environments (ones that replace green screen) for feature film, TV shows, music video and advertising. I generate digital backgrounds from photos I take, creating panoramic photography, textures to be used in 3D software like Maya, it's mostly combined with digital paintings I create in Photoshop. Sometimes I'm selling my traditional photography images, mostly to real estate developers, musicians and celebrities in LA.

Thank you for taking time out from your busy and creative life. Thanks a lot David! I'm just an inspired artist with the camera. Here is some first tests I did today, at Palisades Park in Santa Monica it was rainy day by the Pacific. Performance of this lens is absolutely stunning, sharpness, how it handles, so exciting to see images in Lightroom, it's a gem! All photos taken with 100 ISO using tripod. Check them at my full res images on Flickr, you be able to see in my profile more images : <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/edwardgrad/49607854248/in/dateposted/" title="L1000611-2"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49607854248_9965d6a825_6k.jpg" width="6000" height="4000" alt="L1000611-2"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Edited March 2, 2020 by eev776 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eev776 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share #48 Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Screen grabs added below... not the same quality as what I posted on Flicker. Compression kills the quality of this amazing lens. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

eev776 Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share #52 Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) Comparing TL 135mm lens vs. APO Telyt-R 180mm lens coverage area. I went to Marina DelRey and took a shot there today with APO Telyt 180mm, back at home I realized that I previously took a shot at the same spot few month ago with 135mm TL. Welcome, dear visitor!

eev776 Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share #54 Posted March 7, 2020 On 2/26/2020 at 5:07 PM, jaapv said: You can use the Leica M to L adapter stacked with a cheap "dumb" R to M adapter and save a few hundred $$. It won't transmit the focal length (about the only sensible thing the ROM does) but it will allow you to use the thumb wheel for magnification. And, if you consider that this will be your only R lens, the focal length in EXIF has not that much relevance. Additionally, you will be able to mount M lenses without further cost, if so desired. I have a question for you. For my Leica CL I got "dumb" Fotasy R-L adapter and it won't zoom in to focus with Left wheel anymore, very frustrating. I'm using it with my Leica R lens, when I was using it with Leica R-L Adapter it was able to zoom in in live view to focus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted March 11, 2020 Share #55 Posted March 11, 2020 Yes, this has been asked and answered dozens of times. The only adapter that enables magnification with the wheel is the original Leica one. For all other adapters you need to use the arrow keys. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eev776 Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share #56 Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) I been testing my equipment and I noticed that people do complaint a lot about quality of non APO Extender-R2x, which I got a month ago in great condition for $50, manufactured around 1981 according to serial number. I use Extender-R2x with APO Telyt-R 180mm on Leica CL (R-M and M-L adapters). It's a really inexpensive and effective solution to get double in focal length. Yes I must agree it's not easy to focus, but once you got it, images look great, I don't see much milky rendering going on, photo just looks more flat. I would say the best image quality comes out between f stop 8-11. Sharing my tests below taken with tripod, no adjustments applied, last image no extender. Welcome, dear visitor!

jaapv Posted March 24, 2020 Share #58 Posted March 24, 2020 Adjust your sharpening for screen in the export dialogue. Sharpness is not so much affected by JPG compression as by resizing. And with the 2kB limit for sponsoring members you will always be in the maximum JPG quality range 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
