Both the 180 mm f/2.8 Apo-Elmarit-R and
the 280 mm f/4 Apo-Telyt-R Leica lenses offer superior
image quality plus that special turbo-feeling and sensation,
not for just a few minutes, but always and everywhere!
The superb performance of the 180 mm f/2.8 Apo-Elmarit-R
permits the unrestricted use of the Macro-Adapter-R. We
can obtain a reproduction ratio of 1:3 with excellent
quality. The occasionally expressed wish for a true macro
lens with a focal length of 200 mm is practically fulfilled
with this combination. A bit outmoded nowadays, but still
useful is the Bellows Attachment BR-2 that allows reproduction
ratios of 1:3.3 to 1.2:1.
The Leica Apo-Elmarit-R 180mm f/2.8 has been optimised
as the optical design and mechanical parts have been
modified to accommodate the APO-EXTENDER-R 1.4X. The
optical performance is of course retained fully, and
the APO-EXTENDER-R 2X is still compatible. Due to these
innovations a particularly compact and outstanding lens
can be created with a focal length of 250mm and a respectable
full aperature of 1:4 by using the APO-EXTENDER-R 1.4X.
