Manufacturer description

Aus dem "Meyer-Optik - Objektive für Kleinbildkameras" (1961):

TELEMEGOR 1:5,5 f=180mm • 1:5,5 f=250mm • 1:5,5 f=400mm

Bei diesen Tele-Objektiven handelt es sich um Spezial-Anastigmate. Was das Fernglas dem Auge bedeutet, das ist der Kamera das Fern-Objektiv: es holt Gegenstände aus großem Abstand scheinbar heran, bildet kleine Einzelheiten groß und deutlich erkennbar ab und vermeidet dadurch Ausschnittvergrößerungen. Die Eigenart der Konstruktion dieser echten Tele-Objektive äußert sich darin, daß sie trotz sehr langer Brennweiten verhältnismäßig geringe Abmessungen aufweisen. Bevorzugte Anwendungsgebiete der Telemegore sind vor allem Sport- und Tieraufnahmen sowie verschiedene Sonderaufgaben in Kunst, Wissenschaft und Technik.

Die Objektive Telemegor 1:5,5/250 mm und 1:5,5/400 mm erlauben durch einen drehbaren Stativsockel einen Wechsel von Hoch-zu Queraufnahmen, ohne daß sie vom Stativ abgenommen werden müssen. Alle drei Objektive sind mit Blendenvorwahl-Einrichtung ausgerüstet.

***

These telephoto lenses are special anastigmats. What binoculars mean to the eye, the long-distance lens means to the camera: it seems to bring objects closer from a great distance, reproduces small details in a large and clearly recognizable manner and thus avoids enlarging details. The peculiarity of the construction of these true tele-lenses is expressed in the fact that they have relatively small dimensions despite very long focal lengths. Preferred areas of application for the Telemegors are above all sports and animal photography as well as various special tasks in art, science and technology.

The Telemegor 1:5.5/250 mm and 1:5.5/400 mm lenses have a rotatable tripod base so you can change from portrait to landscape shots without having to remove them from the tripod. All three lenses are equipped with an aperture preselection device.
