Telyt2003 Posted June 30, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted June 30, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) A grey heron (Ardea cinerea, Graureiher) posing for me in front of a suited background (out-of-focus water surface with reflections in the evening sun light), patiently waiting for me to finish my shots. Â Telyt 400/5,6 in Televit, Visoflex 3, M8. Stabilized with the Televit's small shoulder stock (version 1) and a long strap. ISO 640, 1/500 s, f/5,6-8 (6,8), uncropped. Â Thanks for looking!

jpattison Posted June 30, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted June 30, 2011 Superb! Really interesting background at 1/500th, as it looks like movement rather than OOF. Â John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telyt2003 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share #4  Posted June 30, 2011 Superb!Really interesting background at 1/500th, as it looks like movement rather than OOF. John  Thank you, John!  Yes, unsharp background with this lens often looks like moving water, but the water wasn't flowing at all, it was still with the reflections on its surface (of few meters behind the bird which in turn was at the close end of the focusing range - at approx. 4 meters). This rendition of unsharpness is one of the characteristics of some older Telyts which I like very much. I don't know, if it is like this because of the telescope type of the optics, or because of the always round opening of the diaphragm (with its 20+ blades), or both, or what else. Suggestions are welcome. Telyt2003 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telyt2003 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share #8  Posted July 1, 2011 Marvelous photo! It is the superb bokeh that made this shot so unique. Tri:)  Tri, thank you! It is this 'bokeh' that often puzzles me. Not that I really would need a technical explanation for it, but meanwhile I wouldn't mind to understand it a bit better ...  More recent trials with the M8 and a Novoflex Noflexar 600/8 lens that shares a lot of the characteristics of the Leitz telescope type Telyts, are promising in that the Noflexar shows a very similar out-of-focus rendition ...  BTW, very nice butterfly photos on your webpage!

Â Douglas, Â thank you very much for your comment ! I always have been very much impressed by your images ! Â I remember that it were your marvellous images made with the Telyts 400/6,8 and 560/6,8 which initiated my wish to use one of these Telyts, and to try to produce something in that direction ... without your perfection for sure. (I finally bought my first Telyt 400/6,8 in 2003 ). Â I was not so aware that the out-of-focus rendition of the Apo-Telyt 280/4 can be similar to that of the older telescope-type Telyts - so that is perhaps something more generally possible with long lenses under certain conditions ...? (Thank you for the impressive example photo. Should pay more attention on the lenses used when looking at your images! Should also know you have replaced your 400/6,8 with the Apo-Telyt-R 280/4 plus 1,4x Apo-Extender-R some time ago). Â I missed the train for an Apo-Telyt-R 280/4 when the R-system was cancelled. So your statement makes me even more eager to use one of these jewels one day perhaps ... will have to see with what camera, since it cannot be the M8/9 ... Â Best regards, Telyt2003 Â PS: When I created my account for this forum, I planned to name it "Telyt", but the name had already been used (probably by you). So my user name became what it is:).
