I had the SL 90-280 mounted up on my CL today for an air show that didn't happen (LOW CEILINGS, HIGH HILLS).  So I went off to explore its macro capability.[

Another wet miserable day here had me a little stir crazy so had a wonder with the dogs around our National Trust Parkland at Attingham.  CL with 180 2.8R plus x 2 APO Extender, handheld and pretty high iso.

Group of young fallow deer sheltering under the trees, didn't hang around long once they spotted me.

 

And I'm guessing this one is an expectant Doe, looking at the size of her tummy.

 

The second one is my favourite with the one deer gazing at the lens.  SO >>CL with 180 2.8R plus x 2 APO Extender<< would mean an effective 540mm?.  Quite an achievement hand-held!

When I say hand-held Vikas, I generally mean no tripod, because although I have three in the cupboard I'm too blooming lazy to carry one.  There is usually something around you can brace yourself against or rest on which helps a lot.  Think I was leaning against a tree for many of yesterday's deer shots.  Plus even at my age I generally get home with dirty knees and elbows, if all else fails, down on the ground is the way to go.

Here is an image straight out of the camera, Lightroom RAW to JPEG

Leica CL with the new Lumix S 24-105mm lens. This combo has great potential for street and all kinds of images imo

800ISO 400/sec F8

They are fantastic ! I think I favour the first. My 180 R 2.8 is 1976 vintage. I have a plain 2x extender , which fits lens and R to L adapter , and as I've read on the Overgaard website, it creates a halo round the image. So I've just gone and bought a 280 R f4 Telyt, and gone to the other extreme. Yours are incredibly detailed images I have to say. I am a bit of a novice still at being quick at focusing and capturing. The EV. was set at +2 as I'd been lining up a frame against the sky when the Goldfinch suddenly appeared elsewhere, so I squared up the two stops in Lightroom, and cropped somewhat.

Thank you. No, the lens is just the cheapo version, the extender is the APO version though, not sure it makes a huge difference.

 

I have a cheapo 2x extender, and I get an annoying halo round the image. Thorsten Overgaard says this is a characteristic of a non APO 2x extender.

Yes, when I was thinking about this, a lot of folks on the R mount threads said, above all make sure the extender is APO.
