tele - ho

The third lens in my Triumvirate is a 75 mm f2.5 Summarit telephoto.   Whilst at the shorter end of the telephoto focal length spectrum, the reason for choosing this was as follows.   Firstly, focusing with a rangefinder becomes more difficult the longer the focal length, particularly once you get beyond 90mm.  Secondly, I wanted as compact a lens as possible to minimise both bulk and weight, and thirdly, because in my view, 75mm is just about usable for street photography in terms of not being too conspicuous.  Finally it is an ideal focal length for portraits, and I'm hoping to try some portrait images in due course.  Below are some of the first pictures captured with this lens.
