Is - and this is a question, NOT a criticism - the marked vignetting due to the telextender? B. D. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of David Young Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 2:18 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] First efforts with the 400/f6.8 Telyt As many of you know, it was my long standing admiration for the work of Doug Herr that got me thinking about 400/f.6.8 Telyt. Then my wife, Rose, offered to buy me one for Christmas! :) By late January, I had an early model, in virtually mint shape, in my hands.... but no chance to really try it out until last week. Whilst walking on the beach on Hornby Island, I spotted a Great Blue Heron, standing on a log, about 30 meters (100 feet) ahead. Using patience and stealth, I got within 20'. The result, a hand-held shot using the 400 and a 2x converter, can be seen by going to: http://www.horizon.bc.ca/~dnr and then clicking on "Featured Photo". Comments and criticisms appreciated, as always. Thanks for looking. David. - ---------- David Young |The LHSA Spring Shoot - Victoria, B.C. Victoria, |April 23 thru 25th, 2004.
