[Leica] IMG: stacked extenders!

[Charlie Chan]

Actually it’s a FF EQ of 1074 mm. The DMR has a 1.37 crop factor for the sensor inside the film rails. I’ve tried this setup once of twice, but you need a lot of light and a very steady tripod/head. It’s also quite dark on the VF too.

Great shot, Doug, as that’s really hard on that set-up.

Best wishes,

Charlie
