ldhrads Posted April 27, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 27, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I purchased this Televit with Telyt 560 last week, really to try what JC has done with his Telyt 280, but now I see myself looking for a 14138 so I can mount the 280. I'm truly amazed with the first few shots with this lens, the serial # dates it to 1966, my 280 is 1969. The 560 had some spider web in the tube, but the lenses are pristine and the Televit works nicely. Like several I've read about, the button doesn't seem to do anything anymore, no lockup of the tube, most likely an old spring, Here's a shot of the kit together pardon the iPhone photo and a couple of first shots with the 560, I only white balanced them. The "portrait" was at the close focusing distance limit, the parked car about 50 meters away. If anyone has a spare 14138 willing to be let go,, let me know!!! Welcome, dear visitor!

jc_braconi Posted April 27, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 27, 2011 Funny, is'n it ? The quality of this lens is astonishing. And you deed well. If anyone has a spare 14138 willing to be let go,, let me know!!! We are all awaiting that Luigi asks for making some clones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-hawinkler Posted April 27, 2011 Share #3 Posted April 27, 2011 JC, I believe Luigi asked, he is waiting too, no? Best, K-H. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted April 27, 2011 Share #4 Posted April 27, 2011 COMA, after having seen a picture of it, told me that he could do a COPY (I should have to send them my one for reference) for around 60 to 100 Euros : if some of you are interested, I could afford to part from my item (can live without it for a while... ) and have them to make some...

Washington Posted April 29, 2011 Share #8 Posted April 29, 2011 re: 560. I just finished a complete disassembly for a good cleaning and proper re-lube. Concerning the lens holding mechanism my feeling is the under-button spring is weak and I am looking for a stronger replacement. I think the plastic friction material, due to age, is harder than need be… I am going to replace this with a softer rubber…. I haven’t chosen exactly what compound and hardness as yet. Adjusting the roller at the front of the lower brace is critical for smooth focus sliding. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washington Posted May 5, 2011 Share #9 Posted May 5, 2011 Big difference! Now, the focusing slider works much better! Locks tighter. I did not replace the friction pad… as it’s aways better to make one change at a time. The spring change is easy…. remove the four screws in the ‘’button box’’ and simply replace the stock spring in the hole in the back of the button. A little dap of silicone sealer at the bottom of the button hole holds the spring in place, and, after drying, makes fitting to lens tube easier. The spring used is the following from: McMaster-Carr Specifically: #9657K76,1 Pack, Steel Compression Spring, Music Wire, 1" L, 7/32" Od, .028" Wire Diameter. The 1’’ spring will be snipped to length a bit longer than the stock spring so you can heat a bit of the cut coil to bend it flat like the uncut side. A Dremel and stone can further flatten the round end coil. Holding the very end coil over a candle will heat it red fine! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_peter_m Posted May 5, 2011 Share #10 Posted May 5, 2011 Good tip with the spring Washington, will have to do that to mine. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washington Posted May 5, 2011 Share #11 Posted May 5, 2011 As the springs come in little packages of ten I have plenty to play with. I think I’m going to make another one somewhat longer for even more pad pressure. As I said, as it is it: locks a hell-uv-a-lot better. But, it still can move with pressure. The job is so damn easy, why not? Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DES Posted May 6, 2011 Share #12 Posted May 6, 2011 Hope you don't mind. I have been taking some shots today with my outfit... I love it. Lets get more people using the Televit.

Washington Posted May 14, 2011 Share #15 Posted May 14, 2011 Small change, BIG difference! By tapping the 1/4’’x20 t.p.i. through to the inside on the shoulder rest…. and now screwing in different strap mounts and connecting a really short strap to the inside of the curve: the rig now holds itself high and just right for carrying and use.

jc_braconi Posted May 14, 2011 Share #16 Posted May 14, 2011 Seeing where the shutter cable release is connected, I suppose you use a Visoflex IIa with a 4x, 90° angle viewfinder from Visoflex III. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washington Posted May 14, 2011 Share #17 Posted May 14, 2011 Yes, this one is indeed a Viso IIa in which I modified the linkage so the arm will rise higher for use on the M-9. I like them because the arm travel is not as long as the V-III. You can do it the easy way by using a V-III arm…. but the arm is very tall and I don’t like how far I have to reach for it with my trigger finger when using it without a cable. Cheers.

Washington Posted May 19, 2011 Share #18 Posted May 19, 2011 Another change. By removing four screws I found I could rotate the barrel 180 degrees and have the focus adjuster useable by my better right hand. I’m real happy with this! Welcome, dear visitor!
