Overview
The Leica 250mm f/4 Telyt-R is a telephoto lens for Leica R-mount SLR cameras, used with models like the Leicaflex SL. It was sold under several names, including "Leica Telyt-R 1:4/250 mm" and "Leitz Telyt-R 250mm f/4." Production is attributed to both Leitz Wetzlar and Leitz Canada. Exact production years and original pricing are undocumented. A Leica Society publication lists a price of £239, which may be a second-hand price at an unspecified date.

Reception & Use
One photographer reported switching from a Leica MP rangefinder to a Leicaflex SL with the 250mm f/4 lens. He said the new setup gave a "brighter screen and easier to use with auto stop down." That is a practical gain for telephoto work on an SLR.
