Pros: Price, mechanics, lens quality, color, sharpness.

Cons: Manual focus... (so to speak.)

Opinion: After Leica's experience years ago with analogue, today I have changed from Japanese to a return to Leica, first with the Q2 and then moving on to the SL2 and among the lenses I have chosen there is this, it is incredible that to date after 49 years from its birth and stopped producing 25 years later ... manages to have stunning quality, terrific robustness and a beautiful look. Sharp, Leica colors, typical three-dimensionality of Leica images, a lust, and a return to manual focus, in short, the taste of photography..... a creamy and beautiful blur. At a cost of 700 euros plus 40 of the adapter ring for Leica SL2. Highly recommended.

Pros: Unparalleled sharpness and color rendering.

Cons: Minimum focusing distance, appreciable drop in performance by closing the diaphragm

Opinion: Exceptional lens still today for the feeling of sharpness, image cleanliness and color saturation, ideal for distant subjects. Tested with both Canon and Sony the results are still at the highest levels; certainly not particularly suitable for the portrait where I prefer the Elmarit both for the limitation of the minimum focusing distance and for the contribution of blurred

Pros: One of the most beautiful optics I've ever had.... Three-dimensionality, sharpness and quality of detail of high level, beautiful colors, maf stop running on infinity very precise, robust ...

Cons: I could say the price but so much quality on the glass I would say that fully justifies it ...

Opinion: It's just a shame that it's 180mm because otherwise I wouldn't take it off from the camera anymore, but at the same time it makes me want to find photographic ideas suitable for this lens to enjoy its high resolutive quality .... Excellent optics, very happy to have tried it .... On smooth a7 pulls out wonderful files, on the a7r2 it is a spectacle, on the 100s it is a lust....

Pros: Sharpness, contrast, color border perfection

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: A true gioielloUn telephoto lens with a chromatic rendition and incredible details, even apertura20 years ago I used it with Leica R film cameras. I recently purchased a Lumix GH-5 and I use it with an adapter. Full Manual, but what a satisfaction! With the Micro 4/3 format, the equivalent focal length doubles. I have used it recently for photos and videos of birdwatching, in shed and not, freehand because I do not particularly love the tripod. Paired with the administrator GH-5 works excellently!
