It was Kodak E200.  This photo is a crop of about 50% of the film area.  
I've gotten variable results with the film, probably due to processing.  
This particular roll is much finer-grained than most of the others I've used.

Nope, tripod.  I've done a little with this setup on a shouldr stock,
those are at the lab.

I had a chance to try out my LeiCanon 560mm f/4 (Canon 400mm f/2.8 +
Leica
1.4x APO-Extender):

http://wildlightphoto.com/birds/tyrannidae/blph00.html

Technical stuff: Leicaflex SL2, Canon FD 400mm f/2.8 L, Leica 1.4x
APO-Extender-R, E200 film.  Getting detail in both the white feathers
and
the black areas has proven difficult in bright light so I took advantage
of
the diffused light of a foggy day for this photo.  Exposure was about
1/60
sec @ f/4.  This is a crop of about 50% of the slide area.

All comments welcome.
