Doug:

Just shot some bald eagles today.  Lots of white snow and white overcast 
sky.  The film is in the soup now.  It will be interesting to see how the 
Leica 400 Apo-Telyt handles the flare.  I will post some images if I have 
any decent ones.

  I was shooting wide open with the 2x extender and stopped down one stop 
with the 1.4x extender.  I think we probably saw over a hundred bald eagles 
this morning.  Lots of them were too far up in the trees.  I think the 
Naturalist say there are more Bald Eagles in Nova Scotia than in all of the 
United States!

Regards,

Robert
