Nice pictures.  Thank you for sharing that with us.
May I ask you what film did you use?
Regards Jörg

To get the LUG back on topic, I thought I would share a picture I took
yesterday.  It is of a Bald Eagle feeding way up in a tree and I used the
400mm APO-Telyt with the 1.4 converter plus the non APO 2x for a total of
1120mm F8.  The other eagle pictures were taken with a Tamron 300 2.8 with
a 1.4 converter.  You can see why the Leica glass costs so much.  With two
converters on it it is still contrastier than the Tamron shots.  I just
developed the film today and if I have any more good shots I will post them
on the bird page as well.
