__New column by Erwin Puts now available

The new column on  the subject Leica R-lenses by Erwin 
Puts is online. The current issue  includes the LEICA 
VARIO-APO-ELMARIT-R 70-180 mm f/2.8. The 
performance  characteristics of this apochromatically 
corrected zoom lens with its high  uniform speed of f/2.8 are 
comparable to those of Leica lenses with fixed  focal 
lengths. This lens distinguishes itself in the high contrast 
and  clear differentiation even of intricate color gradations at 
all focal length  settings and across the entire picture area, 
all the way into the close-up  range. Both coma and 
astigmatism are hardly detectable. As a result, the  
application possibilities of this zoom lens are virtually 
unlimited:  Stationary subjects in fashion photography ; or 
for reportage, in which a  fast, yet careful change of 
cropping is important.
