shootsonfilm Posted December 6, 2000 Share Posted December 6, 2000 I have been deciding between a used Leica 100 2.8 APO and the 80 1.4. Can anyone help me with this decision who has had experience with both lenses? Any help would truly be apreciated. <p> Thanks Gabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob F. Posted December 13, 2000 Share Posted December 13, 2000 Gabe, these lenses serve different purposes. The 80 Lux is for available-light work, such as stage photograpy-- like photographing a ballet. The 100 APO is intended more for producing the highest possible image quality, where speed is not an object. By giving up two stops, the designer can make a lens with the ability to resolve fined detail. So It's a matter of your intended pupose. If you are not making big enlargements, but do intend to shoot in low light, the 80 might be more versatile for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
