Adaptall 1 lens so need an adapter.

Apparently suffers from very bad CA ... they have revised the design at least twice since that one.

A better option is the Tokina 80-400mm zoom, if you can find one.

Much more compact than these old film 400mm lenses, albeit still heavy enough!

I think we'll move this to lenses discussion as it's not really a lead to any great deal.
Best regards, John
