And the Leicas...

Leica lens. Definitely the best money can buy in the market. Rarely will you find these good lens for sale here in CS, not to mention a full range available here. The Leica Rs here are the best manual lens i have tried, they combine the best of sharpness wide open, excellent micro contrast (with the images popping up at your face) and colours (leicas are reputed for that), not to mention the built of the lenses. Please note as well the prices stated are the best i can let go for. I am hestitant to let go of these good lens for sure and in no hurry to sell, thus hopefully really appreciative buyers come along.


1. Leitz Wetzlar Elmarit - R 28mm F2.8



The BEST 28mm lens there is, along side with the nikon AIS 28mm F2.8, all the rest pales in comparison. I dare to make this statement as i have used at least 20 other 28mm lens before. Fantastic condition as well. Just take a simple shot anywhere and you will see subject practically jumping up at you. Built wise also best among the usual canon, nikon, olympus... the only lens will comparable built is the made in Germany Zeiss.

Image taken with this lens:






Lens in mint condition. Glass totally clean. Letting go at only $900.



2. Leitz Wetzlar Elmarit - R 35mm F2.8









Hood not included. Shown above are images from only. set for sale here in much better condition.

Similar to the 28mm, very sharp wide open, great micro contrast and fantastic colours. I have done comparisons with similar focal length and pixel peep.. the colours produced from the leicas are totally different. Not only on film, even in better dslr, a difference can be seen. 35mm is also good on cropped bodies as a "normal" lens. I have this lens mounted on my 1D and 40D very often.

Lens in mint condition. Glass totally clean. Letting go at only $750.



4. Leitz Wetzlar Summicron - R 50mm F2





Despite being an F2 lens compared to the F1.8 and F1.4 offered by other brands, this lens performs exceptionally well at F2 wide open. As shown below, it trives well in low light condition and give very 3D-ish images. Great for using as a normal lens on a FF body and a portrait lens ( the wedding studio shot below was taken using the 50F2 wide open using only the modelling light of our strobes at wide open F2 on a cropped 40D body ). If you are looking for just one good 50mm in your prime collection, this has to be it.

Lens in good condition. Letting go at only $600.



5. Leitz Wetzlar Summilux - R 50mm F1.4








Image above taken from online.

This is absolutely the BEST 50mm F1.4. Nothing else compares to it, i have tested it against 50F1.4 USM, 50F1.2L, pentax, olympus, zeiss 50F1.4 but none of them gives the kind of sharpness, resolution at wide open F1.4, when i zoom in 100% of cos. It is like comparing prints from a ink jet printer and a laser printer.

Some images taken with it:





Sorry that my shots aint able to really bring out the prowess of this monster.

Lens in good condition. Selling for only $1250. Note that others are selling 1500 to 1600.



6. Leitz Wetzlar Macro Elmarit - R 60mm F2.8

Rare lens you can find locally. The 60mm gives superb performance nothing like other normal nikon, canon similar macro lens. Sharpness at even wide open is there for sure. On top of that, you can still get the characteristic Leica's spectrum of vibrant colour, excellent micro contrast and a nice 3Dish feel of the images taken. Great for products, portraits and even for walk around as it is close to a "normal" 50mm on FF body.

Lens in MINT condition. Letting go only $700.



7. Leitz Wetzlar Elmarit - R 90mm F2.8




Shown above are images from only. set for sale here in much better condition.

Good performance like the 90f2, but 1 stop slower of course. Still, its a leica. image quality and built still way more advance than similar focal length lenses available. Images produced with this lens tends to be high in contrast as well, not forgetting to mention, its sharp wide open and gives the 3D effect in images. Lens has in built retractable hood, reducing the trouble of carrying an extra one and works well to prevent flares etc.

Image taken with this lens:






Lens in mint condition. Glass totally clean. Letting go at only $750. Note that some others selling on this same forum at 900 to 1000. 750 is definite cheap.



8. Leitz Wetzlar Summicron - R 90mm F2




Shown above are images from only. set for sale here in much better condition.

On of the best portrait lens in this range. My experience is that its slightly better than the nikon 85f1.4 and zeiss 85f1.4 and comparable to the 85f1.2L stopped down. Bokeh is also fantastic on this lens, which is rather heavy for its size and really built like a tank. no need more introduction, just search online to read more on it.Lens has in built retractable hood, reducing the trouble of carrying an extra one and works well to prevent flares etc.

Lens in mint condition. Glass totally clean. Letting go at only $1200.



9. Leitz Wetzlar Elmarit - R 135mm F2.8



Another good lens from leica, the only other contender in this range is the 135F2L, which is larger is size but not as well built. Bokeh is beautiful, making it fabulous both half and full body shots. Lens has in built retractable hood, reducing the trouble of carrying an extra one and works well to prevent flares etc.

Image taken with this lens:


Lens in mint condition. Glass totally clean. Letting go at only $750. Price lowered, very good price for a good tele fast leica portrait lens.



10. Leitz Wetzlar Elmar - R 180mm F4



Take one shot wide open and in focus with this lens, you will know its a gem. The colours, micro contrast, 3D feel of the lens are all amazing. Of course the leica 180f2.8 would be better, but that would easily cost 3 times the price, and be much heavier/bulky. This lens is only slightly longer than the 135, ideal for carrying around with. Lens has in built retractable hood, reducing the trouble of carrying an extra one and works well to prevent flares etc.

Lens in mint condition. Glass totally clean. Letting go at only $900.

Have got another SUPER RARE "SAFARI" camou green version. Hardcore leica fans will know how rare it is, possibly 99% of photographers might not even have seen it. Even if you are willing to pay more i doubt you can find a second copy in Singapore. Good lens with clean optics and in MINT condition. Easily pass off as new. Letting go at only $1200



11. Leitz Elmarit - R 180mm F2.8




Image taken off E bay, the one sold here in way better condition.

Another dream leica lens, The sharpness, contrast, handling of this lens is superb. Just feeling the weight of the metal on your hands, you get confidence. Its smaller than other 180mmF2.8 such as nikon's but weights alot more, due to the large chunk of metal and glass. The built in hood comes in very handy as well. The bokeh is darn creamy and nice, while still retaining very nice colours and contrast in images. Amongst the leica range, i should think only the 280mm F2.8 would produce better portrait. In short, its quite a holy lens.

Images taken with it:








Sorry for the lack of asthetic appeal of the shots, but ya, you should have gotten a rough idea the colours, contrast and sharpness of the lens. All taken with canon 5D.

Lens in very good condition. Selling only $1200. Before bargain please note that in peninsular, the 2nd hand shop near cathay photo is selling the same lens, similar condition for 2 grand... $1200 is definitely a steal price.



12. Leitz Telyrt-R 250mm F4





Beautiful leica tele lens in mint condition. The lens is moderately sized and yet still has a good aperature for the focal length. definitely good to use for portraits, sports birding etc.. However its weight is not light, this is due to the very solid leica built, the brass metal parts used inside. This lens is not commonly seen, esp on in such mint condition. If it appears in those 2nd hand, it will always be price way higher than what i have got here.

The signature leica beautiful colours are there of cos, coupled with the sharpness wide open and contrast, this is a very nice lens to use. This lens is much more worth it than paying for a 300F4L

Selling at only $1000.



13. Leitz Vario - Elmar - R 35-70mm F3.5 E60


above image taken online just to show the model and built, the one sold here has some wear on metal exteriorly.

As shown in image taken with lens below, this lens gives very nice colours and contrast. Sharpness wide open as good as well. Rather rare leica zoom lens. The built and finishing is quite nice and different from any other manual lens i tried. For canon users, i would dare to say this lens gives nice colours than the canon 24-70F2.8L, which cost alot more.

Images shot with this lens:





Some wear exteriorly but glass is good for sure. Letting go this good lens at only $750.



14. Leitz 75-200mm F4.5 VARIO ELMAR









Very sharp and contrasty Leica R mount lens. uses pull push design, very good for manual focusing. This lens is highly comparable to canon's 70-200F4L, but has much better built, image quality and of course, the Leica name. Its good for anything from walkabout, to macro with extension tubes to portraits.

Leica Vario-Elmar-R 75-200mm f/4.5 telephoto zoom lens. Made in Japan. One ring pro-zoom. 3 focusing cam. Built-in lens hood. Multicoated glass. Perfect fit for the Leica R3, R4, R4s, R5, R6, R7, Leica RE and Leica 6.2. Will work on Leica R8 or Leica R9 as "stop-down" metering only. Could be use on Canon EOS Digital cameras with proper adapter. Filter size is E55. Close focusing from 4 feet or 1.2 meter. Aperture range from f/4.5 to f/22. Lens is in Ex++ or 9.9 of 10 cosmetic condition. No DENTS or DINGS. Clean glass. Perfect coating. Smooth focusing. Smooth and precise zooming. Good working aperture. Smooth and CLEAN aperture blades. Original caps. Nice and light weight "every day" telephoto zoom lens.

Lens in totally MINT unused condition. Good as buying it brand new. Selling only $700.


And the Zeiss...


Putting up a good portion of my Zeiss collection of lens for sale. This are all fantastic lens that should be in the hands of photographers who can appreciate them. Selling in order to clear stuff and make space as all my dry cabs are full.

These lens can be used on contax body, or via adaptors onto olympus/canon bodies. I usually use with adaptor on my 5D, 40D and 1D. The lens below DO NOT come with adaptors but if buyers are keen i can help them get good deals for adaptors.

ADAPTOR TO CANON/Olympus BODY NOT INCLUDED IN PRICE STATED. HOWEVER I CAN GET THEM FOR YOU CHEAPLY, PM TO FIND OUT.


1. Carl Zeiss T* Planar 50mm F1.7 Made in Japan



One of the best 50mm produced. The usual mass produced nikon and canons are definitely not up to such precise engineered and produced lens. Within the zeiss primes ranges, esp for people shots, this is my 3rd favourite, after the 35F1.4 and 85F1.4 (keeping them for the moment unless good offers come along).

Although a small little lens (smaller than the canon 50f1.8 in fact), it is definitely a performer. Reviews have rated its optical quality better than the 50f1.4 (google them). Some tests also reveal that the actual amount of light passing thru is more than a F1.7 lens, closer to F1.5

There are also numerous comparisons under extreme condition of zeiss, leica, canon, nikon and other brands of 50mm. Google them and read to understand why the zeiss is so highly rated.

Lens in very good condition, both optically and exterior.

A shot taken with it:



Excellent contrast, and extremely sharp where it is focused on.

Letting go for only $320.



2 Best contax zoom lens in CY mount, the 35-70 and the 28-85 both are fantastic performers in their own field. The 28-85 gives a larger range with 28mm at the wide end while the 37-70 is smaller, constant aperture and has a fantastic macro mode at 35mm. Both perform extremely well, beautiful micro contrast, bokeh and sharp wide open, to the extent primes may lose out to them in quality.

3. Carl Zeiss T* Vario-Sonnar 3,4 / 35-70 Made in Japan



Some of the reviews online on this lens:

" Very sharp and compact zoom with constant aperture. Its performance is in par with prime lenses. Zooming mechanism is silky smooth without zoom creep. It outperforms the Zeiss 28-70 VS in sharpness. Its macro function (1:4) is very good."

" An excellent compact zoom lens from Zesis. Picture is typical zesis taste. Very good lens build. My standard lens on Aria."

" Summary:
as good as the Leica zoom; much better than canon L zoom; comparable to nikon 50/1.2 when set to 50 mm focal length; now the price goes down to only about US$ 500 -----

Strengths:
possibly the best standard zoom "

" Summary:
This is an excellent Zoom which can compete with the best primes on the market also in case of flare!!!(just 10 elements).You shouldn't complain about the limited zoom-range, therefore it's light and compact compared to the VS28-85. And finally: Don't underestimate the macro-setting!

Strengths:
Very sharp and contrasty from f8,0-22.
Compact, lightweight and easy to use. Excellent close focussing ability (25cm) delivering top notch results. Overall it's as good as the best primes!!! "


My own experience with this lens is fantastic as well. Only complains is that it could be abit wider, but paired with my 16-35L, the combi is perfect. One of my favourite walk around lens as well. The macro setting, though only at 35mm, goes really darn close and gives a very very nice bokeh for macro, putting designated macro lens to shame. Selling as i have 2 copies of it, letting go one.

Shots taken with it:





Shots above shows how far the lens zooms, and also the micro contrast of the lens.




Sharpness of the lens is fantastic. Very high resolution. It most probably wont even be out resolved by the 20+MP 1Ds mark3 unlike normal consumer lenses.

Zoomed in crop:




Lens in very good condition. Priced at only $700.




4. Carl Zeiss T* Vario-Sonnar 3,3-4.0 / 28-85 Made in Japan



Only thing about this lens is that its rather big, with the front taking 82mm filters, but of cos, the build is really solid and respectable.

gives a very nice range from wide at 28mm to tele at 85mm. Comes with original front contax 82mm cap and original screw on hood.

Some online reviews on it:

"Summary
The best zoom ever made? lots of us think so. Consider the primes lenses this zoom would replace in your camera bag: 28 f/2.8, 35 f/2.8, 45 f/28, 50 f/1.7 and the 85 f/2.8. The amazing part is, its nearly impossible todistinguish between images made by this zoom and the afore mentioned primes. With enough enlargement, the primes eventually win the day, but not by much. The lens is a chunk, and carrying it around on an RTSIII with a full load of AA batteries is no joy. The front element rotates during focus, its some what quirky in that the zoom is fully extended at 28mm and fully retracted at 85mm. I'm not a fan of zoom lenses, I think they turn people into lazy tourist photographers (no offense meant to the lazy tourist photographers out there) Fixed focal lengths make you move around alot more and you spend more time composing your shot. I make the exception with this lens because the image quality is stunning.

Strengths
quite capable of kicking major booty on other manufactures prime lenses everday of the week and twice on Sunday with one of its T* coated lenses tied behind its back.

Weaknesses
yeah its heavy, the front element rotates, it requires a huge thin polarizer. What would Arnie think if he heard you whining like that? don't be a girly man (or woman) "

" Summary
This lens is the real deal! I have five Contax prime lenses and and am extremely happy with all of them. Decided that I neede a zoom in this range and took the financial plunge and bought a new one (searched for several months and could not find a used one anywhere, and now I know why).
This lens is extremely well made and tack sharp at all ranges. I'm not going to make comparisons, but if you are just getting into the manual Contax line, let this be your primary lens in the 28-85 range. I will keep my primes that fall in this range, but this zoom stays on one of my bodies ALL the time. Get the Contax lens hood and a thin filter, either Heliopan or B&W. The Contax filter is not made by the Contax company and are not up to par with the companies previously mentioned.

Strengths
SHARP at all focal points. Excellent build quality."

" Summary
This has to be the best zoom lens made. It even auto-focuses with the Contax AX, what more can I ask?"

http://photosig.photographyreview.com/mfr/contax/35mm-zoom/PRD_84513_3128crx.aspx

Hardly any complain about the lens except for the size and large front.

Shots taken with this lens:



Lens in mint condition. Priced at only $900.[Shops in peninsular sells much more than that]



5. CONTAX-CARL ZEISS VARIO-SONNAR 80-200 f4 T*







Like the other 2 Carl Zeiss above, this is an amazing zoom. how so? image quality, sharpness, contrast is as good as other zeiss primes, but better than alot of 3rd party primes. No sh!t, this lens easily puts many of today's modern lens like canon70-200F4L and F2.8L to shame. One look at the front, you can see from the coating that this is one serious lens. I remember that back about 10yrs back, around 1999 to 2000, this lens was going for about 900 USD, with the conversion back and shipping then, it probably worked to about 2K SGD, a much wished for but out of reach lens. Built wise as the other reviews online say, is seriously solid with being excessively heavy. The fact that its a pull push design makes it a joy to zoom and focus at the same time. This lens, like other fine raved about lens, has a nickname, "stovepipe".

http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?topic_id=23&msg_id=000jSO

Lens in very good condition, can tell its been very carefully used.
Letting go at only $850.



6. Contax Makro-Planar T* - macro lens - 60 mm F/2.8



This is possibly the BEST macro lens in the 50-60mm macro lens range. This lens is highly sought after, highly raved about and highly rated. Personally i like the image quality it produces even more than the 60mm Leica. It gives amazing sharpness even wide open and more importantly, its colours and micro contrast is really fantastic for every shot. Despite the focal lenth and aperture, its quite large in size. Its not as rare as the really exortic ones like 200f2, 85f1.2, 55f1.2 but its pretty much on the same level and highly regarded like the contax 35f1.4, 85f1.4 and 135f2, but its less seen for sure, in fact at this point of time typing, i dont think any used store here in Singapore has this lens.

Note as well, this is one of the very very few lens from the manual generation that gives 1:1 magnification without extension tube at all. Thus allows the user to go really closeup, such as shooting internals of flowers.

Lens has slight signs of usage, not mint for sure, but glass is good for sure. Overally functioning perfecting.
Letting go of this rare lens at only $850.



7. Tokina 28mm F2.8 RMC Made in Japan


Lens shown about above is not of actual piece. the piece for sale here in totally mint condition.

A small but heavy Mulit Coated tokina wide angle optics. The lens, though old and not widely popular does produce some very decent image, even wide open..But google it and you can find many pleasant comments about it. Built of the lens is very solid and i even found it abit heavy. It is in C/Y mount, using adaptor can be mounted on canon or olympus bodies. I used it mounted on my 5D and 40D. This lens focus down to less than 30cm, which is about 20cm from front element to subject. thus used closeup, you can expect some nice silky defocus shot. Furthermore, its a solid MADE IN JAPAN lens, these days you hardly find lens made in japan, not of this price range...

Images taken with this lens:





Lens in totally mint condition. Letting go for only $150. Adaptor not included. Add $38 more for a CY to EOS adaptor.



8. Tokina RMC 400mm F5.6 (CY mount) Made in Japan






Shown above is a m42 mount version, looks similar except one for sale here is a CY mount piece.

Can be used on contax/yashica bodies, or like i do, you can use on canon DSLRs with adaptor. This is is probably one of the cheapest and more value for money 400mm around. wanting to start doing some telelens photography such as birding but not ready to dump 20K cash in for the fastest IS lenses? this is it. RMC stand for multi coating, which gives better flash control, light falloff thus increasing the contrast and preceived sharpness of image taken. I have used it on several ocassions, from military parades to birding to sports, it has not failed, at least not for the price of this lens. It gives very decent and usable images wide open at f5.6.The built in retractable hood is also very handy, esp when you bring the lens around.

Only defect is some dust inside lens. It totally doesnt affect image taken at all. Selling cheap at only $400.


And the Pentax lens...

Letting go of some Pentax manual focus, screwmount(m42) lens. Some are super takumar, some are SMC takumar. Those who have used them would know there are gems amongst this range. In particular, the most famous is 135F3.5, small little lens but pin sharp wide open. Fantastic resolution. Even the 1Ds mark2 16MP sensor cant out resolve it.

Who should use them? All film bodies that take m42 lens would be able to use this. With the right adaptor, all canon, nikon, olympus, sony bodies are able to use this lens, manual focus of course. (keen on adaptors can PM me to find out more. Note that normal adaptors sold outside for m42 to nikon are basically useless ad they dont allow you to focus to infinity, i have the proper kind of adaptors)


These M42 lens can be used directly on old film bodies or via adaptor on all modern nikon, canon, olypmus, sony KM, pentax DSLR.

For those buying the lens before, i can sell you brand new adaptors cheaply as well.

M42 to EOS - $25

M42 to Nikon with good japan glass(has coating) for focus to infinity - $40

M42 to KM/Sony bodies - $30


5. Super Takumar 50mm F1.4


Large F1.4 aperture. Excellent for low light conditions of course. Image may not be very sharp wide open, but stop down abit and its good. Another small lens good for carrying around as a spare.

Image taken with this lens:


Letting go at only $200. Got to be one of the cheapest f1.4 lens for sale around here. Slight user marks on exterior but glass is very good.


3. Super Takumar 55mm F2


Small and budget lens, yet with good performance. Compare to the canon 50f1.8 mark2, it definitely gives a better bokeh as that uses a 5 blade aperture only. in terms of image and built, this is sure more value for money provided AF is not crucial.

Image taken with this lens:


Lens in very good condition. Selling cheaply at only $120.


3. SMC Takumar 55mm F2


Small and budget lens, yet with good performance. Compare to the canon 50f1.8 mark2, it definitely gives a better bokeh as that uses a 5 blade aperture only. in terms of image and built, this is sure more value for money provided AF is not crucial.

Lens in very good condition. Selling cheaply at only $160.


4. Super Takumar 105mm F2.8





Hood and case not included for this lens. Lens in totally MINT condition, better than the one shown above.

For sale is a rare super takumar 105f2.8 in MINT condition. Like the others it uses a 49mm filter, thus is really small and light. But still a beautiful performer. Fantastic for portraits.

Discussions about this little gem:

http://photo.net/pentax-camera-forum/00Bq7t

" It is a very good lens for portraiture. I broke mine (Super-Tak) beyond repair but have very fond memories of it. "

" This is an excellent lens that I have used off and on for portraits for about 30 years - starting when I took a portrait class in the Army! Also it is light and handy."

" I use a 105/2.8 Super Takumar occasionally and it is an excellent portrait lens, comparable with the Canon 100/2.8 that I have but smaller and lighter. There was also an M42 SMC multicoated version too which might cope with flare better for a backlit portrait but the Super Takumar is fine with a lens hood on it. "

" The Takumars are the best screw-mount lenses ever made. The rest are no comparison but Chinon, Fujinon, Rikenon and Yashinon are not bad "

can see the thin depth of field and sharpness where in focus with this lens.

Mint condition lens for sale at only $250.


5. Super Takumar 135mm F3.5 SMC (SUPER Multi COATed)


One of the best known pentax lens. all who used pentax system before will know. This is one super sharp lens. Dont take my word for it, google online to find out more and come try it yourself as well.

"To combat the undesirable consequences of partial reflection, scientists developed chemical coatings to be applied to glass surfaces. These coatings increase r, and in the case of Pentax's famous Super Multi-Coating (SMC), r = 0.998! Performing the above calculation for a lens with 10 groups, we get L = 0.96, or only 4% light loss.

SMC was patented and first applied in 1971, when Pentax was still making screw mount equipment. To highlight the fact that the lens elements were super multi-coated, Pentax renamed their lens lines from Takumar and Super-Takumar to Super-Multi-Coated Takumar and later on to SMC Takumar."

"In reference 06671, Pentax claims that SMC is "a remarkable seven-layer lens coating process that cuts the reflection ratio down to just 0.2% per lens surface. The result is a dramatic improvement in both color fidelity and brightness and the elimination of flare and ghost images."

In the meantime, all optics manufacturers have developed some form of surface coating, and each claims "superior performance." In practice, most tests point that Pentax's SMC is still the best of all mainstream solutions."

Quote from material online to show how fantastic this is, together with the superior lens design giving the extremely sharp wide open performance.

Letting go cheaply at only $280. non SMC version available for $230.


6. Super Takumar 150mm F4
Looks almost identical to the 135f3.5 in terms of built and optics design, this lens is equally sharp as the former. Most of the time with me, its used on a 5D body. The lens is so sharp you can zoom in fully on the 5D images and its still pin sharp. No kidding..

6. OLYMPUS OM ZUIKO 35-70F3.5-4.8





Mint condition. Selling only $150

7. OLYMPUS OM ZUIKO 35-105F3.4-4.5



On a full frame body, this lens is good for the min range when coupled with a 17-35mm, on a 4/3 2X crop body, this lens gives 70-210, a very good tele range. Some of the bodies even retain IS though you have to manual focus. One good thing about this lens, it has a ring to turn, which goes into close focus mode. It instantly becomes a great macro lens, as show in image taken below.
