The pictures
on this page was taken solely with Leica 180 mm Elmarit-R
f:2.8 series I.
This is a lens from 1967 that I had for two weeks and tested.
I my opinion not better than any other brand; it doesn't have
the qualities that normally distinguish a Leica lens. And
it is very heavy to hold, making it hard to make sharp pictures
handheld.
The new 180 mm APO-Elmarit-R f. 2.8 is the lens one should
go for.

For
comparison here is some pictures made with the Nikkor
135/2.8. Not as good quality as the Leica 180 mm
but still not that big a difference:
