[Leica] Keep Looking Up

[Douglas Barry]

There's a smaller number of aircraft still flying over our house at the 
moment as the great circle routes from Europe to the US generally fly 
over Ireland, and quite a few - like Frankfurt to New York - fly more or 
less directly at 34,000 feet over our house in Monkstown. While a sunny 
day right now the atmospheric haze are interfering with clear shots. I'd 
forgotten I had an old 2x converter, but just remembered this morning, 
and dug it out. It's a 42mm screw mount Tokina, so will match perfectly 
with my Pentacon 300/5.6 - a really historic high end combo :-)

I'm going to set it up on my patio to see if I can catch an aircraft or 
two - there's a Frankfurt to Washington 787-10 Dreamliner on its way to 
the airspace over Wales right now, so maybe I'll be lucky with the haze 
in a few minutes. Flight Radar 24 is a great program.
