[Leica] Lens opinion

[Keith Wessel]

I bought a 70-210 Nikon f4/5.6D last month for $84.  I looks brand new.

See the head shots on this page for some images I made with it.

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.
