Nice shots..... However, if you are going to use a MF lens, wide open, I
would wonder what the 280 or 400 Telyt would feel like on the D 700 body?
The Visoflex version would allow you to use the Viso to Nikon adapter.....

You would lose .....
AF ( but the AIS lens has no AF)
Auto Aperture ( but you are shooting wide open anyway)

How do the lenses compare, optically and image quality?  300/4.5  ED IF AIS
Nikkor  to the 280 Telyt ?
Maybe the caveat should be.. on a D700?
