Hi Hoppy,

I have a 400mm f6.8 Telyt that is currently being repaired by Leica.  
The lens won't focus all the way to infinity. The good news is I  
don't have to pay for the repair. I have a used Canon 20D and a R to  
EOS adapter which will make it equivalent to 640mm in 35mm film  
terms. That'll work just fine.

Len
