Advertisement Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Hi jc_braconi, Take a look here 1600mm. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
luigi bertolotti Posted January 25, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 25, 2011 You bet... ... but I see that the "Telyt 1600" retains the top handle that makes the 800 so easy to carry ... I have a vague remembrance... wasn't this 1600 quoted time ago, somewhere on the Net, as the most costly photo lens ? . (btw, JC ... my 800 seems finally will have its Viso mount within a pair of weeks... posts to come... ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted January 25, 2011 Share #4 Posted January 25, 2011 Luigi, ask to get the R mount to be back, also, with the complete new item. Of course I keep the original part... indeed, it resulted to be a surprisingly easy task: the R bayonet is not fitted directly on the focusing unit part: it is mounted (with 90° rotation facility, as in other Telyts) on a 3,5mm thick / 72 mm diameter ring that is fitted on the focus unit by 4 standard screws (well secured) .. see hereunder: [ATTACH]241257[/ATTACH] The R bayonet is at a distance from this ring such that there is "room" to simply make an identical ring with a M bayonet - no critical tolerancing, apart, obviously the CORRECT positioning and dimensioning of the holes for the 4 screws : so, I ordered a similar ring to an experienced lab, asking them to avoid cheap 3rd party M bayonets... Probably, Leitz did this way to have easy capabilty to mount the 3 different bayonets for which this lens was made (R, M, Minolta... this last I think hadn't great success...)
