Re: Novoflex tele lenses

[Carlos Royo]

Thank you for your comments, Herb. As I have written in other message in 
this thread, the Sigma AF I had was low in contrast and high in flare, 
the F* 300 mm. 4.5 is much better, in fact it is as sharp as the F 50 
mm. 1.7 or the FA 35 2.0
I have used the Pentax F 1.7x converter with the 300 mm., but I am not 
satisfied with the results. It doesn't lose too much contrast or 
sharpness, but out of focus areas when paired with this lens look awful. 
In fact, that converter yields much better results when used with the FA 
80-200 2.8
I am not a pro, neither I need to sell my photos (I wish I could, by the 
way), so I am interested to know if Novoflex lenses are "good enough" 
for that kind of photography, particularly the latest Novoflex C and D 
series, which are said to be better than the classic ones of the 1960's 
or 70's.
What I won't do is buying another Sigma 400 mm. AF, and I also can't 
afford an FA 400 mm. 5.6, they are too expensive here.
