I have found a pair of old lenses for sale a Pentax f4.5 500mm prime lens - probably about 30 years old and a Leitz Telyt f6.8 400mm lens - both need new mounts to use on the Pentax but the seller is willing to source those for me .
My question/s are -
has anyone ever used either? and
if so what sort of quality could one expect from them?
- I realise both would be manual but I envisage using them wide open 90% of the time and resorting to the green button and manual setting on the Pentax
The 500 would need a monopod or tripod -the Telyt might be better for hand holding - both have appeal to the old b&W photographer side of me -but am I deluding myself would either measure up today?
I would appreciate for any comments from folks knowing either lens
I have been searching the net for sample images but came up with none
