Manufacturer description #1
Steinheil has introduced an important photographic first: a 200-mm. focal length lens with preset diaphragm, the Quinar f/4.5. This is the first telephoto lens with a preset diaphragm in this focal length. The preset feature is invaluable in single-lens reflex photography of rapid, action shots. Following on the heels of the enthusiastically received 135-mm., f/2.8 Quinar, this lens will prove particularly valuable to photographers of distant subjects such as stadium sports and wild life. The 135-mm., f/2.8 Quinar, also a fast lens, has been an important aid in color, bird, and nature photography. Both lenses are coated and possess a five-element system. The metal mounts are highly satin finished and are equipped with tripod sockets.
