Celebrated for its unique, rapid-action \"trombone\" push-pull focusing mechanism, this legendary long-focus instrument allows photographers to slide the lens body smoothly to track fast-moving wildlife or sports action, locking instantly into place upon release. It features a minimalist yet brilliant two-element achromat optical design that maximizes contrast and reduces flare to deliver that unmistakable, organic Leitz character with rich micro-contrast. Because it can be disassembled into two compact halves for effortless travel, it serves as an incredibly capable tool for outdoor purists who want deep reach without the crushing weight of a standard vintage telephoto glass.

What I love about this model is how fast you can find focus—by utilizing a sliding trombone motion instead of a slow, twisting helicoid ring, you can follow a bird in flight or a runner seamlessly. It’s a rugged, honest piece of West German optical engineering. Because it splits in half, it fits into spaces where normal 400mm lenses would never dream of going. It’s an unforgettable experience on film, and it renders images with a gorgeous, painterly 3D quality when adapted to modern digital mirrorless bodies. For anyone looking for a unique, incredibly sharp telephoto lens that values speed over bulk, this Leitz is a top-tier choice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLeitz Wetzlar Telyt 400mm f\/6.8\u003c\/b\u003e Telephoto Lens Head \u0026amp; Focus Tube\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eFront Lens Cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003eRear Mount Cap\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eBrand: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eLeitz Wetzlar (Leica)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eModel: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eTelyt 400mm f\/6.8\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eLens Type: Telephoto Zoom Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eFocal Length: 400mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eMaximum Aperture: f\/6.8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eLens Mount: Leica R (or Visoflex\/M depending on variant)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,6,0\"\u003eOptical Design: 2 elements in 1 group\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,7,0\"\u003eCategory: 2.
