Hi Ted,
To continue with the nostalgia, years ago, when I was shooting with a
Pentax Spotmatic, I had one of those sliding barrel lenses and could
never get happy with it. I tried to shoot my grandson's soccer match,
and never got anything useful. As I recall, I traded it for something
with a more natural motion.
This Telyt-R 250/4 was made in 1980.

Cracker jack glass. A tad heavy but use them and you built solid shoulders when shooting football, hockey games and the summer-winter Olympics. Eventually getting the 400mm 2.8 with extenders! :-)
