Hi Philippe,
I had both Novoflex lens elements plus extenders that could be added and 
used them during all kinds of assignments when "LONG GLASS" was required to 
capture the action. Beautiful results and quite fast to use.
Then as I slowed down from "age," my action assignments slowed down & I sold 
all my LEICA SLR gear, missing it greatly when something came up requiring 
long glass! Oh well?
cheers,
Dr. ted grant O.C.

I still have and sometimes use the gun-like novoflex he sports in the selfie 
prior to Munich. And admire the guys all the more so as they got wonderful 
results. Hats off.

Amities

Philippe
