The vieuwfinder allows you to follow the game and with a 135mm you can make nice shots of the players. OK, no close ups, therefore I need VIP cards or I have to start an affair with a famous female tennisplayer so I can go sit on the first row. The kodachrome gives sometimes images which are a little too blue according to my taste but with the orange tenniscourt that is not the case at all. I used kodachrome 64, but kodachrome 200 would have been better, now I was limited in speed to 1/500 sec which results in slight unsharpnes caused by the movement of the players, but not in such a way that it is ugly, it even stresses the movement. Greetings, Frederik
