Good to see another Leicanista playing with these great little lenses. This was made with SL and an OM Zuiko 100mm F2.0 MC.

THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT I DO  LIKE YOUR SHOT! . I have a question regarding the lens you used for this shot. I am in the process in getting a Olympus 100 f2 and I would like your personal opinion.

 I'm getting it from  Japan and the cost has been rising lately, they are asking just over $900 US dollars  Beautiful condition. 
There is no haze.
There is no fungus.
There is no scratches.
There is no separation.
A very minor coating alteration is seen on rear element , which would have no affect on shootings. I called a lens coating expert here and he didn't think  it would effect taking picture.  WHAT IS YOUR TAKE?

 

Thanks Hank

I have another question regarding  another  lens. I'm looking at a nice Pentax 100 f 4 micro although I  already have the Leica R 60 mm but  I think  the 100 mm would be nice.

I found one in really nice shape for $120. I understand the Pentax micro is tops rated and would like  anyone who  has experience in using this lens opinion. 

Thanks 

Hank

I'm sadden, I had to  send the 100mm f2 back to  Japan. The 2nd element was covered with mold and would have been too  expensive to  have clean and removed. Oh well,  yesterday I bought the Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG DN  to  replace it. and so far very satisfied

Beautiful shot nice delicate colors and the Bokeh is aesthetic pleasing. . I was looking forward in keeping the  OM 100mm f2 but the 2nd element had mold and I return it to  the seller .

Hank,

I am so sorry that I only see your note now because I was out of action for some time. I bought my copy from Japan at the beginning of 2020. It is quite a special lens but already at that time I thought that $500 was a bit on the high side, all things considered. Given the current price level I might put it back on the market 🙂 

Best, Per.

Glad to  hear you are back on line again . Yes,  you bought at the right time . Since I was in the market for another 100 I got two, actually one is the new Sigma 85 f1.4 DG DN and a Pentax 100 f4 Micro both very very sharp  with good micro contrast.
