Perhaps I'm spoiled by the mind-boggling detail an APO lens by itself can produce. When examining the slide (it's K200) the image detail is certainly usable and would probably make a fine 8"x10" print. It's not what I've come to expect from the 280/2.8 by itself. Also consider the shutter speed (probably 1/125 sec) and full aperture and the APO extenders look pretty good. > As for the bird, I think he'll want copies to send to his mates - it > gives him a thoughtful, dreamy expression. It's a realy fine image. Where I'd like to improve on this is to get less of a belly view, to be more on the same level as the bird. Thanks for looking and commenting. >> >> http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/picidae/nuwo01.html >> Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
