Hi Doug,
You have a very good point about long lenses on a Hy6. Presently the
available tele's are 180mm, 300mm and 500mm lenses for the Rollei 6000
series. Michael Reichmann of LuminousLandscape.com fame wrote:
"The 180mm Tele-Xenar is a brute, weighing about 4lbs. It adds real
weight and bulk to my equipment bag. But it is my most used focal
length for landscape work and because it is a fast f/2.8 is easy to
focus in low light."
He also used a 300mm Apo-Tele-Xenar, sometimes combined with the 2X
extender for 600mm f/8 on the Rolleiflex 6008i - all mounted on an
Arca Swiss tripod.
DEFINITELY not for panning an avian species in flight!!!
The 500mm/8 Apo-Tessar lens is supposed to be relatively light, but
all told, lugging all this sounds like a good substitute to boot camp
training!
LOL, Eric
