Latest Review Posted Ricoh XR APO Rikenon 300mm F4.5
I like this lens. Got mine almost like new with box, case, straps and UV filter. Hard to focus, although better with an S type screen or with live view & zoom. Probably a little soft at wide apertures, although missed focus confuses the issue. Focuses more closely than most other manual 300mm lenses, although not a macro lens by any stretch. Built in hood and tripod collar are very convenient, as really you want this on a tripod for best results. It is light enough to hand-hold. Works in good light on the AFA 1.7X adapter, for about the cheapest AF 500mm lens solution you can get. Surprisingly, for an "Apochromat" lens, it shows quite a bit of purple fringing/CA at wide apertures. This does improve stopped down, but can be limiting shooting branches against open sky, for instance. It isn't a focal length I use much, but when needed it does the trick.
