My over 200mm teles are in Nikon mount. I thought about Novoflex
and having a Leitz 400/6.8 (trombone style focus) converted to OM,
since I had seen one converted to Nikon, and heard of others. Sonja
Bullaty has produced some outrageously beautiful imagery with
hers (before she went EOS). Check the book on Tuscany she & her

early ED, I guess) but amazing.
