I'm still lokking for a great long lens for field work (distance to infinity). I had a Fuji T 400 tele from B&H in great condition, but I returned it because I didn't like the color and sharpness. Other options would be the Nikkor T 360/500 or the Schnieder TeleXenar in tele-design lenses, although I haven't found a used source as of yet.

What would be other lens options in a standard or tele design? My Deardorf has 550mm of bellows, so a 400+ normal lens should work. Anybody have a suggestion? I might even bear the cost & weight of the TeleXenar to get an exceptiona
