Here is my new/old super clean APO 180/3.4 E60 3 Cam. Plan to use it on the FF Canon bodies and a Leicaflex SL2 I pick up tomorrow. I've all ready been to Austin and back today. Won't have any Canon images till late next week. The post office was closed last week for May Day in Hong Kong. These lenses are a legend. First developed as part of a Navy contract for surveillance work. Leica decided to make a limited production for public sale. This lens had extra low dispersion or anamalous dispersion elements specially developed at the Leitz Wetzlar glass research lab that equaled the performance of fluoride crystal elements without their drawbacks. (only 6.000 units were produced). --------------------------- "The market wants a Leica to be a Leica: the inheritor of tradition, the subject of lore, and indisputably a mark of status to own."

Leicaflex SL2 with 180 APO. Everything they say about the Leicaflex is true. It is the brightest viewfinder I've seen and with the ground glass, microprisms and split image is a joy to focus. It also has the quietest mirror I've. I understand Leica took a page from the Zeiss Contarex book and have a mechinical braking system not just soft rubber block. Should have some C41 images up by tomorrow. --------------------------- "The market wants a Leica to be a Leica: the inheritor of tradition, the subject of lore, and indisputably a mark of status to own."
