I must confess, Doug, that I haven't done as much serious bird
photography as I would like and much of what little has been
done was accomplished with non Leica 180mm and 300mm glass. I have
had mixed results with APO-Televid and camera adapter - decent shots
of nesting ospreys and small birds at the back yard feeders, utter
garbage of least terns at a fenced off nesting area which -
understandably - kept observers at a distance where even the 800 mm
focal length was no help.
And, of course, the best sightings occur when I have no camera.
