Yes, we have heard Tedīs own stories about clobbering drunks with
his M4, (if my memory serves me right).
So here is my prediction for the big match.
Ted will start very gentlemanny and offer a couple of big glasses
of Lagavullin to get Frank relaxed and unsuspecting, and then,
wham Ted deals a mighty blow the M4, and thats the end of the
fight.
My only question is, which is the preferred lens for this type of fight?
Something big and heavy like the 135/2.8 to get more power to the
blow, or somthing small like a collapsible Elmar so as to not put to much
strain on the lens mount.
