That Telyt is a special chunk of glass...nice!
Looking at the bird, it appears your work 
didn't go un-noticed. ;-)

Two pictures from last week, when we were on the west coast of 
Vancouver Island:

This is taken with a Canon 350D that I had converted to infrared. It 
has an 87 filter built in, and focusses correctly with the lenses I 
use most.

This was taken with a (new to me) 560/6.8 Telyt on a Canon 20D. I had 
received the lens for a very good price not that long before 
Christmas and had been itching to try it out on something. This eagle 
posed nicely, and I don't think I could have taken it as easily with 
any other combination of equipment. I had to  scramble over a lot of 
driftwood without scaring the bird, and a tripod would have been out 
of the question.
