Leica Elmarit 135mm f/2.8 Second Generation Old Lens Leica M mount. Released in 1964. This Elmarit is the longest and brightest lens in Leica's rangefinder history. The 135mm f/2.8 offers a powerful large aperture. This "glasses" are for frame magnification, enlarging the 135mm frame, which would otherwise appear tiny, to increase practicality. Recommended for those who want to shoot with a rangefinder but find it a bit difficult to focus. For those seeking even greater focusing accuracy, Visoflex conversion is also possible! Using the separately sold OUEPO 16462 helicoid, it can be utilized with the Visoflex system. Mirrorless camera grips are getting deeper and larger year by year. Please consult with us about using it with a rangefinder-style camera with a small grip, Visoflex conversion, or mount conversion. We have prepared sample photos taken with this lens. The last time I tested this lens was exactly four years ago, so I've completely forgotten... In the test shots, I combined the OUEPO 16462 Visoflex helicoid and converted it to an α7. The focus is very shallow and delicate, but the resolution is excellent once achieved. It has a characteristic of being richly vivid when shot underexposed and prone to blown highlights in high-key situations. On the other hand, it has high resistance to backlight, even with a built-in retractable hood, and the red ghosting is minimal when the light source is included. However, this doesn't mean the backlight expression is not emotive; it produces a tasteful depiction like the cover photo. The bokeh is also large and beautiful. The lens has been disassembled and cleaned, but some dirt remains on the edge of the front element. There are some bubbles or what are known as spot damages in the rear element group, but I believe the depiction is clear. The viewfinder, especially the framing side window, has some clouding. Composition is still possible, but this is a point deduction. The exterior is in good condition with no noticeable scratches, just a little wear on the focusing ring. Operation has been confirmed. Genuine front and rear caps are included. Stored in a dehumidified cabinet. 5526 *Evaluation is subjective.
