Pros: sharp, good colour (portrait), compact and light for that what it is, good design, easy to focus

Cons: color in landscape so far as i can see

Opinion: i put this lens out of the box and was immediately n love with that thing. its beautiful and compact design (from 1982) is still perfect. the sharpness on my A7r2 is stunning! i get one from ebay for 399€ and i am very happy that i have tried it. i will not give it back! important is to use version 2 (from serial number 2.939.701) not version 1 which is pretty heavy 1,21 kg (vs 810 g) and not as sharp as version 2. more info: https://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wiki.en/index.php/180mm_f/2.8_Elmarit-R_II

Pros: Sharpness, blurred contribution, tonal range

Cons: For its characteristics, none

Opinion: Excellent lens, typical Leitz rendering in color and for the contribution of blurred. Compared to the previous version it loses a third of the weight and thanks to an abnormal dispersion lens it improves for sharpness already at maximum aperture; closing the diaphragm of at least 2 stops holds the comparison with the apo telyt to which it is preferable for the portrait and for nearby subjects where the detachment of the planes is particularly pleasant. Not very sought after (it deserves more consideration), which allows the purchase at affordable prices

Pros: sharp in the middle and soft the right, very good focus, beautiful lens despite age, manual focus, brightness

Cons: manual focus (but is it a real counter ??), not stabilized (is it a real cons?)

Opinion: another lens tried a few days ago with adapter ring on the canon 5d mk2, used with great satisfaction.rnOttimo colors, warm and with an excellent focus to TA if the subject off the background well.rnNon is not focaccia with a manual 180 and not stabilized but once taken the hand is absolutely priceless. I love this lens even if my heart has been kidnapped by the 135 Leica R 2.8
