Telemegor

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Telemegor ( telephoto lens Me yer brat litz) is a series of telephoto lenses of Meyer optics from Görlitz. Like the Tele-Xenar from Schneider-Kreuznach , the Telemegor lenses are “real” telephoto lenses. This means that a converging front lens system after the diaphragm is followed by a diffusing rear lens system. The first "Tele-Megor" lenses (e.g. 1: 5.6 / 400 mm) were designed by Stephan Roeschlein at Hugo Meyer & Co. before the Second World War . Schubert and Frank are responsible for later models.

Telemegors with a focal length of 90 mm (1: 4.5) up to 500 mm were produced for the 35 mm format . For the 6 × 6 cm medium format (initially for Meister Korelle and Primar-Reflex ), lenses from 180 to 400 mm were on offer. An aperture pre-selection is possible for lenses with a shorter focal length . Telemegors from 250 mm have a tripod connection that allows the lens to be rotated without loosening the tripod (switch between portrait and landscape format).

  • Telemegor 1: 5.5 / 250 mm with M42 connection

  • Telemegor 1: 5.5 / 400 mm on Exacta Varex

Telemegore are available for total

The Telemegor series was replaced in the mid-1960s by the mostly five-lens and therefore better corrected Orestegor series.
