At the request of Jigt and for everybodies general interest
Fujifilm EBC Fujinon T 400mm f/4.5
This is a very good lens performing well wide open and sharpening slightly at f5.6. The Fujinon is ‘EBC’ which means Electronic beam coated which is reported to be equal to Takumar SMC coating. My lens is M42 mount and very rare. I can’t find any reference on the web to it, though other Fujinon EBC lenses are well known. If anybody knows one please let me now.
One small drawback for me is it only focuses to 8 metres so I often have to put an extension tube on it for wildlife photos.
The lens has 5 elements, measures L 290mm W 100mm and weighs1935gr. Tripod collar of course and a real built in lens hood. No plans to sell it but would consider a swap for a Tamron SP f4 400mm.

No problem give me a week or so. Could also do you a SP 70-210 (The Series one killer) set if you want.

I have found 300mm more useful for wildlife than bigger lenses. Learning and practicing the techniques of getting closer by just sitting still and waiting, a bit of camo or just patience is easier and cheaper than getting a longer lens and it results in better pictures. I recently read that somebody is looking for a good long lens to get a photo of a Heron that is across the river bank. I thought if he knows where the Heron goes why doesn’t he get over there, hide and wait rather than try and get a shot from miles away?
