Henning,
I use an old (60's-70's) Novoflex 5.6/400mm Noflexar with
"squeeze-focussing" on both Pentax and Canon Dslr.
Same results as Telyt and any adapter still available from Novoflex!
Bart.
The Novoflex to watch for is the more recent 3-element T-Noflexar.
IME the older 2-element Novoflex f/5.6 won't give you the detail or
color saturation of the Telyt, while the T-Noflexar will challenge
the Telyt's detail rendition and its color saturation while not
quite up to Telyt standards is much improved. As far as handling is
concerned, hand-held I'd rather use the Telyt and on a tripod
especially in a blind (UK: hide) the Novoflex is my choice,
primarily because my hand on the focus grip is well away from the
blind's lens port so I'm much less likely to spook the birds.

That's my take as well. The 6.8 Telyts are unmatched for handheld
shots, but if you are using a tripod, there are a lot of other
choices, especially once the weight isn't as much of an issue.
