Leica R 70-180mm Zoom
Fans of the beloved Leia R primes will rejoice in this long zoom, a perfect compliment to add some reach. This lens has seen serious upgrades from Duclos lenses- new metalwork which includes integrated focus/iris/zoom gears, a stainless PL mount, and all new barrel markings to make it a much friendlier tool on film sets. As the internal mechanics of this lens were very solid, the Duclos upgrades leave them alone. The only downside of this is the front element telescopes when focusing, so we don't recommend using clip-on matte boxes.
