I had a chance to try out my LeiCanon 560mm f/4 (Canon 400mm f/2.8 + Leica
1.4x APO-Extender):

http://wildlightphoto.com/birds/tyrannidae/blph00.html

Technical stuff: Leicaflex SL2, Canon FD 400mm f/2.8 L, Leica 1.4x
APO-Extender-R, E200 film.  Getting detail in both the white feathers and
the black areas has proven difficult in bright light so I took advantage of
the diffused light of a foggy day for this photo.  Exposure was about 1/60
sec @ f/4.  This is a crop of about 50% of the slide area.

All comments welcome.
