Doug Herr Sacramento http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/telyt Great stuff (admittedly, even that done with Nikon ). Isn't it amazing how well those old Telyt's perform. Here's a photo I took last summer at the Oregon State Junior Baseball Championships. http://beta.content.communities.msn.com/isapi/fetch.dll?action=show_photo&ID_Community=Leicausers&ID_Topic=51&ID_Message=441 I rented a Canon EOS 1 w/300/4 L one day and used my R7 and Telyt the next. I burned 4 times as much film and went through two sets of batteries with the Canon, yet I got more good pictures with the Leica; proving once again that AF isn't always neccessary. I just happened to have this shot on my laptop so I uploaded it (don't know why it was here. must have been an early scan). The Telyt was wide open and the SS was probably 1/2000th sec. I'm not too keen on this particular scan as the color is little off. Like I said, it was one of my first scans. However, It shows what the Telyt can do. I vividly recall that the kid got another belt high fastball on the next pitch and hit it over the fence. David
