I thought this might have been something you understood being on the LUG! Quite frankly I've never used anything but LEICA long lenses and extenders covering any assignment. And certainly for the Olympics or any sports. For whatever this means and why were talking about it? Oh yes you were explaining to us about a buddy of yours who is a sport photographer and spends 16,000 pounds a year on gear! Have you priced a LEICA 400 2.8 lately? Of course you only buy one and only once! :-) Still don't understand what yer buddy spends 16,000 pounds a year on? Oh by the way, if you'd like to see some of my Olympic sport action photographs you might consider buying my latest BLURB book as there are some neat colour pages you might like when using long LEICA glass! :-) Dr. ted
