A terrible oversight has been committed!

To leave the old Telyts off of a list of extraordinary-value-for-the-cost,
new or used, is just not right...the f5.6 400/560, and the f6.8 400/560
lenses produce fine images, and especially fine pictures for the buck.  Good
examples can be found today for a reasonable few hundred U$.

And they still make fine photos.

While the new 280/400/560 APO modulars are capable of wonderful photographs,
there are plenty of used cars cheaper.  Admittedly, those cars do not make
very good images.

Enjoy the light.
