That lens could not have found a more capable owner, even though I wish it 
were mine.   Nice shot.  I know those suckers can really move.

PESO:

I bought Ted's famous 280/2.8 Leica lens that he used for many Olympic
games.  If you think the SL 24-90 is heavy, just try this one.  The lens by
itself weighs over 6 pounds.  I'm going to have to go to the gym to be able
to use it again; however, I can focus it now!  I had retired it along with
all of my manual focus lenses but my new eye makes it possible to use it
again.  Here is a hummingbird with Ted's lens:

Just call me Ted (or Doug)!  I'm still practicing!!  Those hummers move so
fast!!
