[Leica] IMG: More Birds

[Wayne Torry]

Jim,
Someone who knows more than me should check my arithmetic.
As l understand the Oly four thirds cameras, I think you might be
shortchanging the 250mm lens.
250mm + 2x converter = 500mm.
500mm lens on the four thirds body = 1,000mm field of view.
My wife made me buy a Canon SX70 HS camera for the birds on our porch. I
need more practice.
Love your birds!
