With the naked eye the little beach is just visible but people are not. Mounted the 560/1:6.8 Telyt on the Canon using one of mr.Gandies adapter rings. Handheld at ISO 1600 through thick double paned glass. While it was a suprise to be able to recognise my daughter in the picture,the lack of detail I did not understand. The markIII not being a full frame sensor makes the telyt magnify like a 730 would on 35mm. Would that combination be refraction limited at the aperture used of F11.0 ? Had no time to try something else like no glass in between etc.because I,m studying hard for a new aircraft type an Airbus! After flying 74's since 88 and past my retirement have steam coming out of my ears. Will experiment later with a 50 summicron R and the 400 telyt which I'm fond of. The upload is a full size jpeg at low quality.The save quality made no difference in resolution. Best,Simon Jessurun,Amsterdam http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/animal/canon/strand.jpg.html
