All shots were made using various tripods. This blew me away, as it savagely indicted any handheld telephoto work using ANY maker's long glass, at least at anything below 1/1000th (Erwin was right!, again). These results have been under discussed by the LUG. Comments?" - -------------------- End Original Message -------------------- No question I get much better resolution/contrast when I use my Telyts on a tripod vs. hand-held. The shoulder stock makes up much of the difference; I'd like to see some careful comparisons of shoulder stock vs. tripod. Also no question the *content* of my photos is more interesting when using shoulder stock vs. tripod. Doug Herr Sacramento http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/telyt
