Henning:
Very nice: composition, color, contrast, sharpness. And I like the
bird's expression.
It's a good thing no one listened to Benjamin Franklin's suggestion
for the U.S. national bird...
Telyts have a sharp, bright center sweet spot at full aperture that
fills the 20D's small sensor. I notice this with the 400mm f/6.8 and
my 20D versus full-frame EOS Elan 7E.

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.
