The equipment I used was the SL with 280 f/4.8 Telyt-V (last version), hand-held, at full aperture and at shutter speeds as slow as 1/60 sec with my monopod-in-the-armpit support. Undoubtedly an APO-Telyt will test better than the old Telyt-V but the old stuff will still produce excellent results. Doug Herr Urban Forest of Sacramento
