I have some old m42 lens that are pretty sharp. What I use most though are Mamiya 645 lens since I have a few. Made an adapter several years ago and played with it. There weren't any available then but there are some now. Manual lens can be a real treat sometimes.

Next I will try stacking a Kenko 7 element 2x behind the Canon 2x for 2400 mm f/16 for the eagles on the far side of the river.
Now that would quite some reach. Beautiful images.

Thank you. My pleasure though. Been trying for a long time. Then all of sudden "bam".

Thank you. They usually don't let you close enough. I was shaking like a leaf.

High ISO? Better to get the shot than not. Good catch.
Getting more comfortable with high ISO. But really wanted to stop action. I was shaking like a leaf.
