Pros: Medium apochromatic canvases of 1993 (not 1983 as written on the site), concentrated with leic technology.

Cons: Bokeh not loved by everyone. With apo multiplier 1.4 slight veiling in backlight. Difficult conversion to nikon f(certainly wasn't a priority of the leica engineers..).

Opinion: Born in 1993 to lighten 280/2.8 is a lens known by those who love extreme optics and class, for an aura of legend that he said was the most solving lens ever, close to the limits of physics. It is a lens with prodigious control of the TA and apochromatic vignette, it gives amazing details. I use it as a lens from a "meditated" landscape, in the colors it produces it is immediately recognizable the "family feeling" apocromatic leica apo. Relatively light for the focal length, for me it should always be used with monopod, the stability also helps the maf which is always difficult. I used it for a while with the apo 1.4, but in that configuration it suffered from a slight backlight veil. Surely it is better to use it smoothly so as not to harness even part of its potential.
