The 180mm APO started out as a Leica survellance lens for the U.S. Navy and then they made 6000 for civilian sales over a long period. I recently got one and a Leicaflex SL2 to use with it as a film body. I got a HappypagesHK chipped adapter to use on my Canon 5D.

There is far more detail in the full image data than in this reduced file for posting.
I can't wait to try it on the 1DsMkIII which is coming in June.
