The Leitz 560mm f/6.8 Telyt is a long telephoto lens designed for wildlife, sports and distant subjects, supplied as a Visoflex reflex-housing screw fit and later in a Leica R bayonet version for the SLR system. It is a simple, lightweight long-focus optic typically used with a shoulder stock or rapid-focus grip, and its value today is modest compared with faster Leitz glass.

At recent UK auction the 560mm Telyt has been a low-priced entry into Leitz super-telephotos, with hammer results between £100 (2023) and £120 (2025), giving a median around £110 — wholesale saleroom prices, before buyer's premium. In 2026 the lens still sells for similar money when offered in working order, and neither the Visoflex nor R-mount variant commands a meaningful premium at this price level.
