I presume you are talking about the apo-telyt 135/3.4 and if so I agree it is indeed a fantastic lens. I also have the 90 elmarit-M f2.8 which is also marvellous and a real bargain.The Leitz 135mm Apo M plays beautifully with the Sony A7RII. Small, light, great color, in camera stabilization and very sharp over the entire frame.
Reasonable used prices on Ebay.
Thanks. Which adapter do you use?Agreed, that it's a great lens. There does seem to be a bit of purple fringing wide open, but that soon goes, stopped down. I don't know whether it's the lens hood, or my adapter, but there was some corner vignetting in the last set that I took.
The first version Voigtlander, I think. It seems OK on the 135mm in the sense that the infinity seems to be close to the marked infinity with that lens. With wider lenses, infinity can be as close as 5m marked.Thanks. Which adapter do you use?
I have several adapters that vignette a bit for lenses longer than about 90 mm.
What I like about the Hawks adapters: infinity can be adjusted, and they are half the weight of the voigtlanders.The first version Voigtlander, I think. It seems OK on the 135mm in the sense that the infinity seems to be close to the marked infinity with that lens. With wider lenses, infinity can be as close as 5m marked.
What do you mean by this remark, please. Adapters that do not focus are by definition useless.The best is the one that does not focus. There are many simple/effective/inexpensive adapters available.
Lou, adapters with no focus helicoid. Plain tubes filled with air from PRC. :ROTFL:What do you mean by this remark, please. Adapters that do not focus are by definition useless.
