What's you most used telephoto lens for landscapes?

[waynec]

So what telephoto do you use the most and what are you shooting? How's your lens's performance?

 

[kanzlr]

lately the Olympus OM 135/3.5 due to size and sharpness.

But as soon as I find a nice Minolta 200/2.8 APO I will have to lug my A900 around when hiking...yikes.

Most used? Probably 50, maybe 35.

Best? Probably 135.

Cheers,

Depends on the system. With the M rangefinders, either a 135 or the Telyt 200 with a Visoflex - a wonderful lens. With a Nikon SLR, the 300 4.5 EDIF - also a wonderful lens.

The long end of either a 24-70 or 28-80 and all of a 70-200.
I should be using my 90 & 135 more. OOPS! The 90 & 135 won't work on an SLR.

Nikkor 105/2.5 K. Fantastic.

90 Summicron v3. Because it's small, I actually carry it around.

100mm F2.5 Minolta MC Rokkor. Amazing Glass.

I've done a lot of landscape work with the 150mm CF Sonnar for Hasselblad. Sometimes with a Vivitar 2x converter.

90 4.0 macro or if I also have Nikon FX with me, 90 2.8 and 135 4.0 tele elmar. Keep the short focus mounts on plus a Leica viso to Nikon adapter

Kiron 105/2.8 Macro @f8 or f11 - what's important for me for landscape work is not only sharpness at center but also sharpness at the edges, with little to no light fall off at the edges.
This sharpness is the same quality that makes it a poor portrait lens -- it shows every blemish on the subject's face.

It was a Canon 135mm f2.0

I had to sell it to fund the x-pro1...

 

[rkm]

I only own one, nikkor 105/2.5

I often use the 90 mm Summicron on the M4 for landscapes. If I'm shooting with the
Rollei SL66 the favourite lens is the 150mm Sonnar.

Canon FD 85/1.2 L for pure tele landscapes.

Olympus OM 350/2.8 for landscapes with animals.

90 Summicron v3. Because it's small, I actually carry it around.

That is one helluva shot!

My most used tele-lens for landscape: Schneider-Kreuznach 180mm Tele-Xenar (what a mouthful) for the Rollei 6000. As I've got no good pictures to illustrate, you now know what I mean by 'most used tele-lens'. 🙂

Nikkor 105/2.5 K. Fantastic.

Plus one for the Nikkor-P 105 2.5, though lately it's more likely 90/4 Elmar-C on my M3.

 

[zuiko85]

With my OM cameras it's either the 135 f3.5 or 200 f5 Zuiko's

 

[mervynyan]

Canon FD 85/1.2 L for tele, otherwise 50 is my most frequent use for landscape ish...

 

[Marihino]

another one for the Zuiko 135mm/3.5, absolutely tiny, very sharp and not overly contrasty.
