DreiPunkte Posted December 31, 2023 Share #1  Posted December 31, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just piked up a Telyt 280mm 4.8 in as new condition with a end 22989.. serial. I am wondering that it has the same lettering in yellow than the next series. So my question, Is it only design or are there any other changes. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 Hi DreiPunkte, Take a look here Telyt 280mm 4.8 yellow letters. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
dg4mgr Posted December 31, 2023 Share #2  Posted December 31, 2023 There is 2298536 currently on ebay: https://www.ebay.de/itm/324759080906 It is screw mount and has yellow feet-scale, is that like yours? Earlier screw mount Telyts have a red feet scale. Note the dot on the aperture ring is red on this lens, yellow on later M lenses. As the feet scale belongs to the mount, and the aperture to the lens head, I don't expect the optical design was changed with yellow ft scale.

DreiPunkte Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share #3 Â Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Thanks Mine have the red dot on the aperturering too. I think you are right, maybe they put together what was available. Edited December 31, 2023 by DreiPunkte Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpitt Posted December 31, 2023 Share #4 Â Posted December 31, 2023 Mine is 185... and it has a white meter scale with a red feet scale. It must be one of the earliest of this series. Aperture ring is the same as on ebay. As you probably know it does not work on a LTM Barnack unlss you use a Visoflex I housing, on the Visoflex II and III it needs the 16466M OUBIO adapter. I have an M to R adapter that allows me to use it on the SL with my R-L adapter. Â 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreiPunkte Posted January 1, 2024 Author Share #5  Posted January 1, 2024 (edited) This is mine Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Thank for the adwise. I use it with the OUBIO and a Visoflex on my MD-2. I have both Visoflex II and III and find out that the II with the chimney finder works best for me. Only the focus runs too stiff I hope it become better witn using the lens.

luigi bertolotti Posted January 1, 2024 Share #6 Â Posted January 1, 2024 I confess that never noticed this small variant of the Telyt 280 II ver. ... anyway, my 1.900.221 has the feet scale in red , and white + red dots for the f/stop indexes (preset + closure) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
