    Doug,

    With you technique you would be fine…overjoyed with the output I am sure.

    I used a Leica S-2P with Pentax 300 EDIF F4 lens on an adapter for the following shots….both manual focus on a monopod.

    The Heron shot was very low light and was across the lake as they spook very easily here in Texas….the Mallard in better light and somewhat closer.


    So the Contax 350 should give you more reach and better contrast but manageable with your experience.

    Regards,

    Bob

    The Mamiya 300mm F2.8 APO is very good performing lens – nice 3D feel to its images. I don’t see them on Ebay much anymore. They typically sell for $2000-$3000 US depending on condition. I like the lens on S2, but it’s a big set-up. I think the lens weighs around 6.5 pounds. F2.8 imaged attached (taken with the S2).
