mmanda Posted June 22, 2023 Share #232  Posted June 22, 2023 This is such an interesting thread! I want to have a go with a long lens on my CL.  I have an M to L adapter.  But not sure what budget vintage lens to go for.  I just need to choose a mount and buy another adapter.   Would this be a good option?   ‘this might be a silly question - would I need to add a tripod collar to this lens to mount it on a tripod/monopod? If so anything I need to watch out for when buying one?  sorry many questions!  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You buy another adapter from MD to M and if the Lens is well preserved I don't see that you can have any problem. If you decide to buy the objective that you indicate, when you can, tell us how it goes with it.  Edited June 22, 2023 by Dopaco 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommonego@gmail.com Posted June 29, 2023 Share #234  Posted June 29, 2023 I am liking the 200 Micro Nikkor, very easy to focus, internal focusing so the lens size doesn't change. I have bought a Nikon TC301 to go with it, makes a 400 f8, a little slow but the images are quite good, with the TC you can focus to a 1:1 magnification,a long lens but still well balanced. The combination was under $400 US. the only down side is using ISO 800 or 1600. The image is ISO 1600. Welcome, dear visitor!

Consider adding a hard foam extension to the focusing ring - easy to cut piece of hard foam to a wedge shape and secure to focusing ring with rubber bands . Enables finer focus. Edited June 29, 2023 by dkCambridgeshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted June 30, 2023 Share #237  Posted June 30, 2023 Another good alternative is the Zeiss Contax 300/f4 Tele Tessar, which are easily available and fairly cheap. There is also a 300/f2.8 Apotessar Zeiss Contax but these are very rare and super expensive (£10,000+). You can extend the 300 Tele Tessar to 600mm and 1200mm with stacked Mutar I and Mutar II tele extenders. I use this on various Leicas with a Novoflex LEM-CONT adapter and M to L adapter on L mount bodies. Wilson 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The magnification and focus peaking works a treat! Having lots of fun. I just want more reach! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
