Product Description

The Leica APO-TELYT-R 180mm f/3.4 is a masterpiece of optical engineering, renowned among photographers for its legendary sharpness and compact design. Originally developed for military use before being released to the public, this 3-Cam lens (Model 11242) is specifically designed for the Leica R-system. Its apochromatic correction ensures that color fringing is virtually nonexistent, delivering high-contrast images with stunning clarity even when shooting wide open at f/3.4.

Engineered for professional performance, this lens features an impressive optical formula that maintains exceptional resolution from the center of the frame to the very edges. Despite its powerful 180mm focal length, the lens remains remarkably portable and well-balanced, making it an ideal choice for travel, landscape, and sports photography. The built-in telescoping lens hood and smooth, precise focusing ring reflect Leica's commitment to mechanical excellence and tactile reliability.

As a 3-Cam version, this lens offers broad compatibility across the Leica R-series SLR bodies, ensuring accurate exposure metering and seamless integration with your vintage kit. Whether you are a collector or a dedicated film photographer, the APO-TELYT-R 180mm f/3.4 represents a pinnacle of R-mount glass. It provides a distinct aesthetic characterized by smooth bokeh and lifelike detail that modern lenses struggle to replicate, making it a definitive investment for your creative toolkit.
