Since I now have a mirrorless, it opens up a vast array of lenses that
can be adapted to the body. 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.
