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.
