[Leica] Polar bears

[lrzeitlin at aol.com]

During my Korean War stint in the army I was briefly assigned to Ft. Churchill, CA to study cold weather maintenance of armored vehicles. Ft. Churchill sits astride a polar bear migration route and the huge animals are as common in town as rats in New York City. A full grown polar bear is BIG, about the size of a pickup truck and much meaner.They are not the cuddly animals shown in Coca Cola TV commercials. The lens I would use to photograph one is at least 1000 mm, perhaps longer.

Contrary to Africa, where I have taken full frame shots of lions with a 35mm wideangle, I wouldn't try that on a polar bear.
