[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]In one of my now usual and tiring confrontations with the most prolific of the contributors to this list, I was refering to (and enquiring about) the Leica R pricing in the 300mm range. I was convinced that the Apo-Telyt 280mm with no further precision is currently a reference to a f4 lens. The enthusiastic gentleman replied as usual that I should keep my trap shut because I have no knowledge of the R-system (he was more polite than that, but that's the constant message). So, I enquired further than the Wurzburger Fotoversand which did not list any f2.8 Leica long tele (http://www.wfv.de/ ), but cannot find any on-line reseller listing these items. So, you knowledgable luggers, how is the Module-System referenced at the reseller side ? Is there CURRENTLY such a thing as a Leica Apo-Telyt 280mm f2.8 referenced and priced as such? Secondary question: is there any human being on this list currently using that Module-System? Thanks for helping me overcome my infamous ignorance and prejudice regarding holy R-matters....
