[Leica] IMG: Tuesday Bird Watching

[Wayne Torry]

Jim,
Just when I thought I was ready to go public with my bird pictures, you
RAISE the bar!
Excellent as always.
I’ve always heard that the 1.4 extenders are the best compromise of reach
and image quality. Which explains why they are hard to find. Moving the
feeders closer is cheaper and easier.
