[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hi Ted, Some of the shots were done with a 300 f/4. the rest with a 70-200 2.8 Can't really justify a longer lens than the 300. A lot of the shots were done at 10000 Asa so I don't think an extender would do much good! Couldn't afford to loose any more light! This wasn't a paying gig, just something I like playing with when the opportunity arises. Thanks for looking!
