I rarely use anything over my 120mm range I have now, but was thinking of a 300mm. Since I don't use it often and it would be most likely for static objects, I am looking at a few vintage type 300mm lenses as they would be not much of an expenditure for the limited use they would get.? Weight is also a factor in whatever choice I make..? Pentax 300/4, Olympus? 300/4.5, a few varieties of Nikon are all brands that in my mind made some excellent glass and could be adapted easily.? I am wondering if the would be as good as the Nikon 70-200/4 at 200 + 1.4 extender I had owned.? I think I regret selling that combo, but with the needed Nikon full auto adapter it would have defeated my main goal of the Z7, weight reduction. These lenses lenses could get by with a very light totally manual Z adapter.? I bought one for F to Z to accommodate some of my F mount accessories like microscope adapter and bellows and it is pretty light. I welcome any opinions.
