I originally added this to the post in the gallery but think it may have gotten buried in the post. So here's two images of the lens mentioned. The one shot compares it to my Canon 400/5.6 so that you can get a feel for how long it really is. The length can be a hinderance. The round button on the side is the lock you must press to focus the lens.
This shot shows it with the shoulder stock. I still need to make some mods to this setup to make it practical. Mainly I want an efficient way to mount the remote control so that I can fire it easily while using the shoulder stock. This shot also show the lens fully retracted, including the built in hood. This is as short as it gets.

Just in case anyone might be interested, some pics of the Novoflex version, compared to a Sigma 500/4.5 and a Sigma 400/5.6 Apo Tele Macro:
Fully extended, with lens hoods. The Novoflex has a very practical macro feature, a built-in extension tube. It also has a shutter button on the front pistol grip which can be attached to the camera. I don't have the matching shoulder stock unfortunately.
Without hoods.
The Leitz Telyt head has a wonderful aperture, 24 blades I counted - or was it 25?
James, can your R-version be transported in two pieces as well? |

You've got to love the circular aperture!!
Yes mine comes apart also. The two tube fit together like yours by the aperture blades. A thread collar then screws down and locks the pieces together. The head of the lens also unscrews with allow access to the back on the inner optical unit. I am going to take mine off and then clean and lube the guide rods. It seems to be a bit too tough to move and hopefully this will help some.
Thanks for sharing your images. It's very hard to find pictures of these on the internet.
