Apparently Leitz made this especially for him, with a rack-and-pinion focussing system instead of the push-pull system.
It sold for 13,200 Euros!

This is the same lens that I have been raving about here, but this one was custom-made with a unique focussing system. |

Er, yes, but 13,200 is not any reflection on the value of a 560mm Telyt, this one is strictly a collector's item, and the signed prints and negatives also add to the value.
Someone paid 13,200 for this lens to have something owned by this famous wildlife shooter, same as someone buying a hat once worn by John Wayne.

Yes, the lens though is an excellent one. It is a collector's item because there was apparently just this one made, and it was made for someone renowned in this field. |
