The 400/6.8 and 560/6.8 lens heads are still available for the Novoflex
D grip. In addition, there was a Leica badged Novoflex grip, but with a
non-removable Leica R mount and, possibly, a totally different mount for
the lens heads.

I have a Novoflex 3.8/200 with 1.5x extender, but I do not really like
the grip focussing. Great for following fast subjects, but the muscles
get tired when you keep the focus for short while. For this reason I
prefer Leica's own design with the sliding tubes. 

When you pass airport security checks, pull out the Novoflex slowly :-)
