L1 + Leitz extender x 2 + Angenieux 70 x3 at 210. f.3.5.
Shot against the light, this is a huge crop.
I then adjusted light in order to get the bird other than 'all black'.
I think this one is from the JPEG straight from the camera as I didn't 
use RAW much at the time.

Now, as to bokeh, I guess the Angie is the cause of it all.
And the extender the reason why it is 'bad bokeh' in the end, even 
though one may like the shot.
Thanks for viewing
Philippe
