Lucky enough to have this big boy with Nikon and Norita adapters.

The Nikon allows me to also use it on m43, but enjoy medium format 6X6 a lot.

Used for distant town shots, boats on the lake, and moon shots with grand kids.

Anyone else have one of these?

I have a Takumar 1000mm F8 but I haven't had it out since my film days over 10 years
ago. Really need to give it a go someday soon.

These long range lenses have limited and specialized applications.

But, if you have a great view, they can be the source of great enjoyment.

I bought mine at a good price, back when I was collecting focal lengths to fill out my capabilities.

I considered digiscoping to extend my range further, but haven't had the need - too little time - too many projects.

What, may I ask, is "digiscoping"?

I did some digiscoping 10 years ago. Digiscoping means putting a "spotscope" in front of your camera as a lens. Swarowski spotscopes used to be the best with less CA than cheaper models. Wink
