Dear Phil, I have been following the prices of his lens on ebay and elsewhere. The price on $300 is in my opinion very good. The usual range is $400 to $700. You must check that there in no separation of the lens elements. Mine is a prototype (1968) and has slight separation along the edge of the lens. As you probably know the only lens is a cemented pair so when you look at the front lens that is it. I have never noted degradation of the pictures. Also check the filter slot for ware. If you have any other questions I can be reached off list at gfurst01568@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sincerely, Dr. Furst in South Korea -----Original Message----- From: Philippe Amard <phamard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: leicareflex@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Mon, 03 Jul 2006 11:59:31 +0200 Subject: [LRflex] List's opinion urgently sought for on LEITZ TELYT-R 6,8/400 Price tag is around USD 300 Should I go for it?
