    Overview

    The Leica Telyt 200mm f/4.5 is a compact, brass-built lens originally for Visoflex, adaptable to modern cameras via extension tubes and helicoid adaptors. Its 1930s 5-element design delivers medium contrast and a 'romantic' rendering with fine detail, but it is not as well-corrected as modern lenses, exhibiting aberrations that some may find charming. It suits photographers seeking vintage character on mirrorless bodies with IBIS, like the Leica SL2, at a bargain price.
