was that Testrite or Spiratone? I made my own long focus lens out of a +2 close-up lens and cardboard tube ... probably just as sharp at theirs! ;)

OK let see a show of hands who remember their
multi page ads in the back of Modern and Pop
Photography back in the 60's and 70's.
I still remember that they were always advertising
a 400mm F6.3 lens at some ridiculously low price.
Of course back in the 60's I was a young teen
and didn't have any money even for that!
Also I had no need of a lens of that focal length
regardless of the dubious quality!
