You may well be right, I'd like to have the option of longer (I use a 135mm
f2 a lot on 35mm), but I assumed I would be hit by the 300mm maximum belows
draw. What's the belows extenstion on the 360mm Tele Xenar when it's
focussed at infinity, and on a tight head shot?

Oh, and how much do you want for it?
