I tried an old 300 f4.5 and the helical was just too tight, probably needed a relube. The f2.8s are huge, haven't even considered one with my Nikon. I use the 400 f5.6 Telyt with my CL using a Leica table top tripod as a chest pod so I can hold it at 1/400, it has a Televit, so my left hand holds the pistol grip, right focuses with a nice round dial, and takes the picture, yes slow. It is f/4.5. But I find it too heavy and unbalanced on CL to focus handheld. I have, though, no problem at all to connect the lens to the camera via a Novoflex adapter that I am also using for my other Nikkor lenses on CL or T. I guess if I had nice subjects to shoot, I would take a tripod and the focusing would be without much problem. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CL/18-56mm . . . That’s a very nice shot.  I’m curious how it was captured.  It looks a little too high for a double decker bus and I don’t think there is a building in that position 🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good detective work.  I've been BUSTED!!! 😳  That's exactly the place.  One more reason for not doing street shots around here:  every inch of this country has been photographed to death and is so easily recognizable. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
