dkCambridgeshire Posted July 5, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 5, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yesterday I spent an enjoyable afternoon using an Olympus E-5 with various Leica R lenses photographing the West Front of Peterborough Cathedral ... this was taken with a 180mm f3.4 Apo-Telyt-R at f8 1/320sec ISO 160. . The photo shows 5 of the 33 statues adorning the superstructure which date from the 13th C and are carved from local Barnack limestone. Restoration to the West Front continues and during the 1950s a number of the statues were replaced - some of them are original but are in a very distressed state.

dkCambridgeshire Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share #2 Posted July 7, 2012 Closer view of two of the thirty three statues - this time taken with the E-5 and Telyt-R 350mm f 4.8 with Extender-R 2X ... 1/320sec at f8 ISO 160 ... effective focal length on 4/3 format = 1400mm ... effective aperture f16 ... shutter activation set with 2 seconds anti-shock. Thee 350mm Telyt-R is not a popular lens but I am enjoying using it. Best wishes dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fernando_b Posted July 16, 2012 Share #4 Posted July 16, 2012 The APO Telyt, despite its dated day of design, has few competitors outside Leica other APO. Fernando. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
