A telephoto lens without
compromises, it offers outstand-ing imaging performance at full
aperture that cannot be further improved by stopping down. Minimal
vignetting and the very slightest distortion are additional strengths.
Even the finest details are rendered clearly with rich contrast.
It is the longest focal length in the Leica M system and it bridges
considerable distances, thus judiciously rounding out any serious
outfit. It delivers impressive landscape photographs with a typical
telephoto effect : the foreground and the background are visibly
compressed. Another benefit is the ability to make format-filling
portraits from a discreet distance that the subject will not consider
as obtrusive. |
