Advertisement Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Hi jc_braconi, Take a look here lit'bird. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
luigi bertolotti Posted January 26, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 26, 2008 Compliments, JC, a difficult shot : the little bird is perfectly caught and stopped... and. sorry, but given I know your passion for ald equipment... I suppose anyway the lens is NOT the old "telyt rifle" of the '60s ? (btw, as a hommage to France... you know that someone used to call it the "Grenoble" ?)

psquared Posted January 27, 2008 Share #4 Posted January 27, 2008 JC, Looks great! Not just for the first outing either. Great job. Any idea what the bird is? A warbler of some kind? Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi : The 5.6 / 400 is the one on televid for R from 1968 (I do not have the 560 head (yet)). you mean about the winter's Olympics ? I have the V 6.8 /400/560, with the adapter to R will try them in the next days. Peter thank you, I do not know the name in English, there are little birds may be 3 inches long, it was looking down in pines cones at +/-12 meter from my hiding place (need to crop a lot!)

stuny Posted January 27, 2008 Share #7 Posted January 27, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) JC - This is a difficult shot well done. Excelent selective focus, moment, framing and exposure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc_braconi Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share #8 Posted January 27, 2008 Thank you Stuart, as I said, I was lucky as I was not using the brackteting ( it is too much new to me) and taking one shot at a time (taken five before it flied away) saw the results after.

Thank you azzo Yuk !!! I thought it was a modern "modular" Telyt ! The quality is impressive for such an old lens... I suppose that with DMR the crop factor is helping... my 400 5,6 (have also the 560 head... ) is always a bit "confused" next to the edges of the 35 mm frame... now I really wish to find the right occasion to use it on M8+Viso...

jc_braconi Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share #10 Posted January 27, 2008 is always a bit "confused" next to the edges of the 35 mm frame... here we are really far from the edges. and the lens became a 520mm in this case now I really wish to find the right occasion to use it on M8+Viso... as I told above, remember it will not be a WYSIWYG.

Artichoke Posted January 27, 2008 Share #12 Posted January 27, 2008 I think that AF may be a liability as it often focus on the wrong area your lens looks sharp and you certainly caught the action Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc_braconi Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share #13 Posted January 28, 2008 Thank you Art, I always like to get the focusing where I want, not where the camera decides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildlightphoto Posted February 5, 2008 Share #14 Posted February 5, 2008 I believe the English name for the bird is the Crested Tit (Parus cristatus. I've been meaning to do a 400mm lens comparison. The lenses I have are this 400mm f/5.6 on the Televit focus grip, the 400mm f/6.8 Telyt, the 280mm f/4 APO with 1.4x APO-Extender-R, and the Novoflex 400mm f/5.6 T-Noflexar. I might also be able to include the 400mm f/5.6 Nikkor ED. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildlightphoto Posted March 6, 2009 Share #18 Posted March 6, 2009 Doug,What was the result of this comparison? Optically: the Leitz 400mm f/5.6 is weakest (it's also the oldest). Contrast, color saturation, flare resistance and image detail are all bettered by the other lenses. The 280 f/4 APO with 1.4x APO Extender is best, except for flare resistance and bokeh. In approximate descending order: 280mm f/4 APO with 1.4x APO-Extender-R - can be made to flare, bokeh only average. Fantastic detail & color saturation 400mm f/5.6 Nikkor *ED - except for color saturation & bokeh which is only average 400mm f/6.8 Telyt - has curved field 400mm f/5.6 T-Noflexar - flat field, lower saturation, stop down to f/8 for optimum sharpness 350mm f/4.8 Telyt-R - flare-proof, lower saturation until f/8, lateral CA 400mm f/5.6 Telyt Handling (partly subjective): 400mm f/6.8 Telyt - quick focus, light weight, snaps into focus. Manual diaphragm. 400mm f/5.6 T-Noflexar - quick focus, handy close focus, very bulky. Manual diaphragm. 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt-R with 1.4x APO-Extender-R - great close focus, good focussing action for a non-sliding lens, snaps into focus on the viewscreen. Automatic diaphragm, great tripod mount. 400mm f/5.6 Telyt - quick focus, bulky & heavy. Pre-set manual diaphragm, poor tripod mount. 350mmm f/4.8 Telyt-R - slower focus. Automatic diaphragm, good tripod mount 400mm f/5.6 Nikkor *ED - unbearably slow focus for moving subjects. Automatic diaphragm, good tripod mount. I've pared down my long-lens inventory somewhat and have sold the Novoflex (bulky, but optics and handling would see me spending money on another one if the price is right), the 400mm f/5.6 Telyt (bulky & heavy, weakest optics) and the Nikkor (unbearably slow focus for active subjects). Probably will also sell the 350 'cuz I'm spoiled by the 280, even with extender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikea Posted March 6, 2009 Share #19 Posted March 6, 2009 Thanks for the report. I actuallly recently acquired a 400mm f/5.6 T-Noflexar on Pigriff-C in near mint condition for a good price. I am considering a 560 mm f/6.3 Telyt for this, but it will make it even more bulky. Kim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am considering a 560 mm f/6.3 Telyt for this, but it will make it even more bulky. Despite the bulk I'd consider that a very desirable setup. The 560 is f/6.8, BTW.
