Fun with M & R Lenses on anything other then a Leica

Jono: You have noticed, as evidenced by your pics, that the 80-200/4 focuses very close (down to around 4 ft)...and, as a result, two of my favorite R lenses (135 and 180/4) have gone into the drawer...they only focus down to around 5 ft! Enjoy the 80-200!

Hi Roy
Yes indeed, the close focusing was the final nail in the rather flimsy coffin of my resistance!
The thing is that it seems to be pretty much as sharp as the primes as well (but a bit bigger!).

all the best

I fixed the WB on my recent day's pictures - funny how I didn't even notice when going over them that they all had a bluish cast due to a funny WB set (while making a cornerfix profile). Anyway, the link changed to my middle picture above and I can't edit the post, so here it is again:

Along the backyard fence...growing between the cracks with 100/2.8 Apo-Macro-Elmarit on Canon:

Hi there Roy,

I like in particular that cactus shot, fascinating play of light and shadow.
Nice compositions with the plants and flowers against that fence.

And that's quite a lens, hey ?!

All the best.

+1 it's fantastic Roy . . . . there's one of those lenses at Red Dot as well, but I'm going to restrain myself!

Thanks, Bart. I appreciate your continuing encouragement.

Thanks, Jono. Lens is worth every pfennig, Jono...brilliant rendering of color, fine detail.

Some eye-catchers with the 80-200/4 Vario-Elmar-R...the monsoons have been with us for the past few days in South Florida...mornings have been gloomy, windy, dark and wet. Wide open at f/4 does not make for critical focusing in the gloom, hand-held, so these will, no doubt, not find viewing space in the Louvre...but they may catch your eye.

Haven't been here in a while. Here's a few miscellaneous shots from the marina in front of my office and the camera store. Just bought the 80-200mm. :D

Lovely Matt
. . . . we had two of these in 2000 - the boy (Grendel) got run over, the girl (Echo) still dominates the household, we all live in fear of her (especially the dog).

Be afraid . . . be VERY afraid.

Jono: Thanks! :D The two of them can be a little scary. They're incredibly agile and can almost reach everywhere. Nothing's safe.

Cheers, Matt

Matt: hope you have as much fun with your 80-200 as I do with mine...first images look real good...like the big red Leica dot.
