Leica 180mm f/2.8 APO-Elmarit-R on Canon

As part of my never-ending quest to find the best optics at each focal length, and inspired by the performance of the Zeiss ZF lenses on my Canon EOS 1D Mark III, I borrowed the Leica APO-Elmarit-R 180mm f/2.8 for about 45 minutes from Keeble & Shucat in Palo Alto, CA (give K&S your business if you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area, they’re one of the last real camera stores around).
