Hi all; Robert -
Good Stuff! I've used the Modular system for quite some time for both
wildlife (90% of the time) and sports the other. as Doug knows, I'm testing
relatively "new" (tey are still boxed!) 400 and 560 f/6.8 Telyts. I think
I'll need "systems" - So far, in in only a couple rolls of tests, the Telyts
are just as sharp in the center as the Modulars (comparing 400 to 400, 560
to 560 at f/5.6 and 6.8 for "relative equality") of course, the Modulars
focus easier and open wider, and loose NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH when you use
them wide open. But using the Telyts has advantages (the 400 in paeticular)
in that you CAN hand hold 'em -- both. They come apart easily, and would
travel VERY well. They are just like little telescopes (in fact, I bet with
the Leica ocular, they'd be pretty good telescopes :-)
After comparing stuff, I'll have to post some stuff.
Thanks,
EC
