    Perkin Elmer ground the Hubble mirror, and screwed it up. They had to send up corrective lenses...

    I take one of your considerations, and expand it; I see, in general, too much concern of what's considered "pro" and what's not. I have...

    M R3/r1 sexies being the exception, the last good looking design was the now classic R5. R62 in comparison was a joke, that I really...

    Did you not modify the default color settings in the numerous ways that is possible? Making the colors warmer is very easy on the R...

    Given how heavy they are, I don't think I would want to test that theory by dropping one 😉. If the lens survived, the floor might not.

    I think this is being blown out of proportion by some on the forums. First it's a difference of 2/3 of a stop and it's at the extreme...

    If you saw in which condition they are...battered and scratched (not the lenses). I will let them die a natural death.

    I have noticed that the RF 24-240 has been out of stock for quite a while. Coupled with the recent revisiting of superzoom patents, it...

    So you are finally going to sell your Leica’s? :D

    Doing the same things as the other manufacturers is not a very sound business strategy in the long term. You want to use the lens for...

    Reputedly much more robust than the conventional, which is supposedly why commissioned by the US forces from Perkin-Elmer.

    I get it ;) . Lenses like the RF100-500mm, RF100-300mm f2.8, RF200-800mm etc. Plenty halo RF lenses.

    Correct. The R5 mk II is slightly worse than the R5 in terms of DR.
