    Leica R 280mm f45.0/5

    Leica R 280mm f4 A truly superb superb lens. Well built and balancesv well. Focuses smoothly . Razor Sharp contrasty images with the R and M body. A real joy to use.

    Telyt 2803.0/5

    Telyt 280 Over all the lens was a fair value. Defiantly requires a full CLA to address haze

    The Legends are True...5.0/5

    The Legends are True... Never thought I'd have much use for a 280mm f4 apo lens until actually using this one. Now I'm a believer... the legends are true, this lens is simply amazing and its opened up many new creative possibilities in my work. So well corrected, so sharp, and renders rich, graceful images full of gorgeous Leica character. Performance is off the charts even on today's high-resolution sensors but its the rich character that really won me over. While the lens doesn't make one a better photographer, having a lens that inspires you in new ways can. This is one such lens.
