Yes I'm sure.
I don't use conventional telephotos but rather fix aperture astro scopes. This scope is aprox a f/8 with a prime focal length of 600mm barlowed at x2 (a barlow acts rather like TC on a conventional telephoto) to an effective FL of 1200mm thus giving me f/16. This setup gives me a magnification of about 36x. Because this is non-standard glass with no electrical contacts to camera body no exif file is generated.
This photo was taken with this setup...

Well said.
I would take it a step further.
I don't care what the hardware "sees" nor even what my eye "sees" but rather what my mind thinks it saw at the moment I released the shutter.
For me the file that I download at the end of a day of shooting is just raw material in which I try to recreate that moment in my mind's eye when I released the shutter. I'm taking pictures for my own purpose not to follow some abstract rules of photography.
By the rules this should not have been taken.
Very early morning with strong backlight. Crows waiting for the fog to lift.

I shoot manual all the time. AF focus just will not work for wildlife photography well in my opinion. There is no AF system that I know of that has the intelligence to know the difference between the bird and a branch a foot in front of it.
A case in point...
