notes: label: Description
content: 200mm f/4.5 Telyt serial no. 582116 (1942) with filter, lens caps, reflex housing and brown leather case. This screwmount lens and reflex housing was produced from 1933 to 1959. Longer focal length lenses over 135mm could not be accurately focused using the camera rangefinder, hence lenses like the 200mm Telyt were intended for use with a reflex housing that turned the Leica into a single lens reflex camera. This lens comes with original ‘PLOOT’ reflex unit and special fitted case for lens and housing.
