That lens seems to have gorgeous bokeh.  Too bad Tele-Rolleis are 
usually horrendously expensive.

Looking forward to seeing more stuff (especially portraits... hint, 
hint ;)

Martin,
That's what I thought until I started looking, This Tele-Rollei is in Ex++ to Mint- condition and cost me under $1500. That may seem like a lot but when you 
compare it to a Hasselblad with a 150mm or even a Leica M with a 135mm, ( the comparison is valid here since you can add a Rolleikin 135 film adapter to 
the tele-rollei), the price isn't that bad. You still end up with Great German optics in a classic camera that is dead quiet. To paraphrase Former NJ governor 
Tom Kane "Leica and Rollei they go puurfect together".
