I purchased this lens to test its suitabilty in the kayak, but it's too
danged big!

KEH would call this lens "ugly".  It looks to me like it was used in a
marine environment; there are stains & miscelaneous discolorations on the
coatings, some screw heads have some corrosion and the diaphragm blades
have patches of oxidation - but it works! Focus is smooth, the focus drag
button works as it should, and the diaphragm, while not buttery-smooth,
works well.

See http://www.wildlightphoto.com/ForSale/560Televit

(sample photos were made at full aperture)

The Televit is for Visoflex which means it can be easily adapted to other
camera brands (Cameraquest sells agapter to use Visoflex lenses on Nikon
and Canon EOS bodies, Leica's adapters for R bodies are the 14127 and
14167).  Asking $300 plus shipping, please contact me off-list at
