FYI, the Noflexar-T 400/5.6 is a triplet.

In fact, the name for the triplet lens is T-Noflexar. But I was referring to the plain Noflexar (see my post).
Abbazz

You're right, I was too hasty typing. I do own a plain Noflexar that certainly isn't a doublet, the 35mm f/3.5, but that is quite a different animal.

dickb wrote:

The older version of the Leitz Telyt, used with the Televit focus system, is a 560mm f/5.6. Fairly fast for a 560mm I'd say. It doesn't have quite the optical reputation of the 560/6.8 though.

Abbazz wrote:

That's my point: a doublet is not very sharp when used at wide apertures. That's why you won't find a good 300/2.8 or 400/4 doublet lens.
Abbazz

I understood your point to be that such fast lenses weren't made, not that they weren't very good.

Abbazz wrote:

Novoflex offered a specific range of lenses specially designed for 6x6 (240/5.6 and 500/5.6). The common Noflexar lens heads were not meant to provide optimal coverage for medium format. In fact, on my 400/5.6, the borders are notably soft when used on full 24x36 frame cameras.
Abbazz

Interesting to hear about the difference in image circle. Novoflex offers (used to offer?) modified follow focus mounts (PIstolenGRIFF) for several medium format systems: Hasselblad 2000 FC (HAPIGRIFF-C), Rolleiflex SL66 (ROLPIGRIFF-C), Mamiya 645 (MAMPIGRIFF 645-C) and Pentax 645 (TAXPIGRIFF 645-C). At this time the only lens heads on offer were the 400mm and 600mm lenses and the Leitz Telyt 560mm. So at least one of these heads was deemed good enough for 6x6 coverage.

Abbazz wrote:

I agree about the Novoflex follow focus being more user friendly. If you want to sell either lens, drop me a PM.

Cheers!

Abbazz

I'm not quite sure yet when or how I'll sell some of it but when I do, I'll let you know.

Cheers,

Dick

Dick,

Here's a link the full manual for 1972 Novoflex Follow Focus lenses kindly provided by Yohei Suzukawa's on his website:
http://yandr.50megs.com/novo/novo1/novo1.htm

As you can see on the page 15 of this manual, there are two distinct lines of lens heads: the 280/5.6, 400/5.6 and 640/9 for 24x36 cameras, as well as the 240/5.6 and 500/5.6 for 6x6 cameras. The follow focus grip and rear mounts were also different between those two lines. Here's the relevant page of the manual (linked from Yohei Suzukawa's website):

Cheers!

Abbazz

The AI lens is not at all bad cosmetically (brilliant optically) but a bit of a clunker - a bit rattly with very free focussing and it was cheap, so it's not a tragedy!

Except that I just noticed it's not actually an 'AI' lens...!!

Right, neither of these are AI lenses.

Hi.

Let me say LEICA IS LEICA. It's that I want to say and I say that. If you can't find the sense to my words I'm sorry, it's your problem and not mine.

Who are you to describe my words as nonsignificant discussion?

With your attitude I can describe your words as stupid but my education don't let me to do this.

No dictatorial attitudes, please.

It is very similar in some stylistic ways to the Soligor/Vivitar 400/6.3 Automatic T4 lens, which I have, and which I find quite disappointing. That one is a Tokina. I have the 450/8 preset in this style (like yours), and that one is absolutely a bad lens. You roll the dice with these things. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work.

YOU understand that "It's Leica, pleaso no more words", is equal to "Then you seem to place one brand as being 100% positive, no possible flaws".

I had one of these when I was at school. I used it with a Zenit EM for shots at cricket matches. I thought it was pretty good then and only sold it a couple of years ago and got back what I paid for it... somebody rates it. Not sure who made it though.
