I have a 135 Elmar whose head of course does come off and its one of the more useful things you can have if you'd gotten into having a Visoflex System as it focus super close and goes to infinity and everything in between with little trouble or extra add on's. Its not optimized for close and I do thing that's a big deal. I try not to get to involved with close up photography not using a macro lens of some sort. A lens which is flat field and optimized for close not far. As they tend to be really worth it in the close up department. And its not as if they're had to find cheap and used in a million incarnations. And enlarging lenses fit the bill as well. I have the 135 APO f3.4 Telyt M and it shoots one of the smaller areas of any Leica lens one could call it macro in that sense. A main reason I got it was for doing tight head shots of people. I paid 85 bucks for a 135 f3.5 Nikkor I think I still have somewhere. It would be more endearing for its faults than for its perfections. I have a 135mm 2.8 El Nikkor enlarging lens which I can put on my Viso. As some other El Nikkor enlarging lenses like a 40, 63, 80 A f4 Apo Rodagon 75mm optimized for 1:1 and a 100mm f 2.8 Componon. All selling for a song as people start using their darkrooms for potting sheds. Some day I'll see them again and get to play with them. With my New M10. Or other enabling device for dumb glass. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Jim Nichols <jhnichols at lighttube.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2012 01:43:20 -0600 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] MFT>M adapter > > Mark, > > I don't have a Leica-R 135, but this Pentax Takumar 135 is one of the > sharpest lenses that I have ever owned.
