Damn, after seeing those frames made with the 280mm I have to question why
I
have not used that lens more.

Bill,

My sentiments exaclty.  A beauty of a lens, but WHERE did you get the
adapter to fit the 280 head on the Televit-R?  That's the only piece I'm
missing!  Even with the standard helical focus mount this is one of my
favorite lenses.

Hey everyone!  This is a WTB: 14138 adapter to fit 280 f/4.8 Telyt to a
Televit!
