[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I got a mix of answers about my query but was away: So to sum up : a) I want a long telphoto lense for use on the L1 (4/3) b) I already own an Angenieux 210 and a Leitz extender x 2 - which altogether bring me to 820 35mm equivalent. But quality is not what I'd like it to be. c) I keep missing telyts for lack of time, or money d) I've found an x to 500 Nikon... zoom for sale, real cheap, and Steve pointed us to a site where they sell N.. to 4/3 adpators. Good thing BTW The mount of the N zoom is AI modified - and the adaptor is F to 4/3 - is that compatible? As I haven't bought either yet , I simply want to make sure they all fit. But a reasonalby priced telyt would also do wonderfully. :TIA phx > Phil, > > I have a mint 40cm Telyt in my Friday advert. > > Jerry > > > Nathan Wajsman wrote: > >> What is the problem you are trying to solve, Philippe?
