Kim, a nicely looking Novoflex!! I too have a "Fernojektiv f=40cm", but obviously the exterior is differerently finished. Both likely are nearly 60 years old by now. In my really young days I sometimes borrowed a friend's Novoflex with the Pistol Grip for shooting wildlife, a feat which I never mastered to satisfaction. Thus the idea of the Novoflex hibernated until the last couple of years, when Ulf Wilhelmsson, a Swedish member of UVP, demonstrated the vintage Novoflex passed a lot of UV. So I bought into the 'Schellschuss' system again, but quickly found the Pistol Grip idea would not work for UV in the field. Hence the dedicated setup shown in a previous post.
