GL Optics Leica-R

Sergio,

If you're in the market to rehouse your Leica R's I would not hesitate to send yours to GL Optics. I think they are the best rehouse of this glass out there. I own a set of Dalsa Leicas done by Dan Sasaki and have added a 135mm GL to complete that set and in some respects I prefer what Nan and GL have done. Not many vendors are willing to do a complete new helical for increased focus rotation... It's much easier to retain the original focus mechanics and just through a cine style "sleeve" around them and call it a rehouse... But that's only a nice dressing on a wilting salad. These are full mencanical rebuilds around the inner core lens head holding the elements in place. Iris remains original, but that's where the original mechanics ends.

I have watched GL tighten up their tolerances over the past few years and the work is pretty astounding , especially at the price point they are offering.

That's my $.02 on the matter.
