I used this Traid 250mm with Bolex REX5 during some lenses tests while testing out the REX5. I used this lens and filmed the boat that was across the East River about 800' plus feet away. I learned my first lesson, I used my light meter but I was in the shade, so it read f4, however it was sunny where I wanted to film. Bear this in mind when shooting film, I should have set the aperture higher, at least to f8. This clip is at f4 and infinity using a REX5 and Kodak Plus X, iso 100 B&W reversal film. I copied from screen using GH1, but actual footage is clearer and would have came out better is I used a higher aperture, This is a nice 250mm lens and hard to find one at this focal point.
