[Leica] IMG: An Older Leica Lens

[Ted Grant]

Hi Jim.
I had that 250mm lens also. But traded it when I purchased the 280mm 2.8. It was pretty good 
also. However the 280mm 2.8 along with the extenders was just incredible and blew everything else out of the water. :-) I used it 99.9% of the time hand held with a shoulder brace, pistol grip and motor drive SLR.
Once you had the rhythm of handling it? It became a piece of cake handling it with sports events and crowds!
However these days????????  :-) I have no doubt it would be a "bit of another story?"  :-)
cheers,
ted

Years ago, I purchased an older Leica lens from a former LUG member in 
Nashville.  It is a 1980 Telyt-R 250/4, a generation earlier than the 
APO lenses.  Tina's shots yesterday with Ted's great lens prompted me to 
drag out the 250 and visit the butterflies.  I mounted it on an old Star 
D tripod and took it out to the Buddleia bush.  Here are my favorites.
