[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I am studying some negs I just developed in Xtol 1:2 from Delta 400 film shot with the Apo-Telyt-M 3.4/135 as it says on the lens and they are street shots, buildings, cars, bridges on the light table using various loupe's. I never thought telephoto photography could look like this! Does not look like a Nikon Zoom! Does not look like any 90. True telephoto hand held shots at a new level. Hasselblad would need a very large tripod to get images this defined! It would be fun to test it against one of those 250 Zeiss Apo's for Hasselblad. Or would it have to be a 350? Are they going for 5 grand now? This Telyt fits my lifestyle and shooting style both. Eventually this lens will "catch on" and be as desirable as a 24! IMHO! Seldom have I had such a thrill looking at negs on a light table! Anybody else having fun with this hot new item? Mark Rabiner Something you can Germophile your teeth on!
