Leica SL camera with the 400mm Telyt f6.8 R

I picked up a Leica SL this month and decided to try my 400mm Telyt on it ( shot with 350mm f4.8 profile) . Guess what ------> The results are superb  - great Leica contrast, wonderful Leica colors and sharpness.

I used both Leica adapters R to M and M to L - you see a little vignette that can be  taken care of.

The 400mm Telyt is so cheap to acquire nowadays and it's hard not to get one . I'm used to the button + slide focusing and the distance traveled is not as bad as the old 350mm f4.8.

Enjoy!
