Leica APO-Telyt-R 180mm f/3.4 (3 Cam) - Leica R Mount

The APO-Telyt-R 180mm f/3.4 is a highly specialised telephoto lens, originally developed for military and surveillance applications before being released for civilian use. It utilizes apochromatic correction to virtually eliminate chromatic aberration, resulting in exceptional sharpness and contrast even at its widest aperture. This 3-cam version is compatible with a wide range of Leica R bodies. Due to its optical complexity, buyers should ensure the internal elements are pristine, as any haze will degrade its high-contrast performance. The focus action on this model is typically very light; SDS checks that there is no unwanted play in the barrel. We also confirm the aperture is responsive and that the built-in lens hood remains firmly in position when extended.
