The 500mm I was talking about was not too heavy and on the F2 Nikon well balanced. At that time a had a 200-600mm early Nikon zoom and it way much sharper than the mirror 500mm. As stated in those days for type of work I was doing 35mm film was just not good enough. Kodachrome was OK on up to 1/2 page A4 but at 10 ISO and even later at 25 ISO too slow for long lens work in a game reserve. Printers in the 60s & 70s did not like 35mm trasp, but I must say National Geographic did well with it then!


Sorry JK did I cause a problem with my editing my post last night because the "Report" message came up?
