Doug,

Both very nice and quite sharp.  The Novoflex lens looks like a keeper.  Of 
the two i like 'lesand04' the best, but not sure why, I will have to look at 
it for a while longer and maybe come up with a good reason. ;)

Today I visited the Yolo Bypass wildlife area between Sacramento and Davis 
CA and an hour of blending into the background scenery was rewarded with 
photos of the Least Sandpiper, a tiny (5 to 6 inches) hyperactive shorebird 
who probes the mud for yummy invertebrates.

The Least Sandpiper often winters here but in a few days it will fly north 
to the Alaskan and Canadian arctic to breed.

technical stuff: R8/DMR, 560mm f/6.8 Novoflex Telyt, shoulder stock & 
monopod.  The Novoflex built-in extension tube was VERY handy today.  All 
comments welcome.
