Product Description
The overall optical performance of this apochromatically corrected 180mm lens can certainly be compared to that of the faster Leica Apo-Summicron-R 180mm f/2 lens. Even at full aperture, it is remarkable for its outstanding image quality, as well as astigmatism and curvature of field can barely be detected. The rubber-armored lens hood effectively protects the lens against damage from impacts. As a lightweight and compact lens with this focal length, it is very well suited for portraiture, fashion, sports and landscape photography -- even when it is not used on a tripod. Ingenious mechanical design and pleasing ergonomics make focusing especially easy. Perfect hand-held exposures require a lens like this one: peak performance at full aperture, extremely high contrast and clear rendition of the finest nuances. Additional plus points include its relatively low weight and extra smooth internal focusing. Outstanding close-up range down to 1.5 m. Built-in, telescopic, rubber-armored, lens hood. Includes front and rear lens caps and soft leather case. Black anodized. For all LEICA-R models.
