Novoflex have made/sold both excellent and not so excellent lenses in the past. The only way around this, I beleive, is to get hold of old lens tests, reviews etc. - or to talk to somebody who owns a specific lens. Jens Bladt http://www.jensbladt.dk
-----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Tim Øsleby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 4. marts 2006 13:27 Til: [email protected] Emne: Novoflex any good? (Was:Advice on long glass for, "photodoc on beachbirds") John Forbes recommends looking for a Novoflex lens. I know nothing about the system except that it looks like a prototype Russian "sniper shotgun". I also have vague memory of seeing some adds in some older magazines. To me they looked like toys then. Is John onto something, or has he lost it? No offence, John, just trying to add some humour to a rather boring post. He is referring to something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Novoflex-5-6-400mm-T-Noflexar-Fast-shot-lens_W0QQitemZ 7595235104QQcategoryZ3340QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Follow up question. What should I look for? As I read the ad above, it needs an adaptor. Am I right.
