My favorite non-Leica wildlife lenses are the Novoflex 400mm f/5.6 follow-focus. These first two are on film with an older Novoflex and a Nikon FTN camera: http://wildlightphoto.com/mammals/carnivores/grbe00.html http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/picidae/rbsa00.html These four are with the later three-element T-Noflexar on the R8 with DMR: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/picidae/rbsa01.html http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/picidae/nuwo02.html http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/trochilidae/anhu03.html http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/corvidae/ybma01.html I also used an older 300mm f/4.5 Nikkor on the Nikon FTN for several years: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/strigidae/snow00.html http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/accipitridae/wtki00.html http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/anatidae/cago00.html http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/charadriidae/kill00.html http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/trochilidae/hbird00.html http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/phasianidae/wipt00.html http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/mimidae/cbth00.html http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/icteridae/buor00.html and I even used a 500mm Reflex-Nikkor for a year or so: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/picidae/acwo01.html http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/picidae/gifl00.html > Tina - cannot believe you made a 'Wildlife Shot' with am M Camera!
