I have no question about the quality of the glass, but if you can't focus it correctly, you might as well use a coke bottle bottom as one of the elements! You would think that after 40 years of taking pictures, this kind of question would not have to be asked...... but I really am having trouble figuring this 400/560 thing out...... I think I will go borrow one from my buddy and try it out.... the 400/5.6 / Televit on a tripod, if I understand all the inputs correctly.... is the best configuration for this lens. Thanks all, and especially Doug for being so patient......and thoughtful in your responses..... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net It takes a bit of practice, but once you get used to it it is very easy. Gene - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
