It's a litt;le blurry <G>

I think it may be a yellow sulfur... thatms akind if butterfly.

Yeah... DOF isn't exactly massive at 800mm!

I don't know the minimum focus distance for the 400 Telyt, but it can't be much over 8 to 10 feet.... about how far the little guy was from me!

Earlier, I'd used the 400 Telyt with an extension tube, to photo the 28/2.8 PC-SA for publication in the Viewfinder (v 37, n3, p38), and it worked very well. But that was at a focus distance of some 3 meters (16') and stopped down to f32 on a tripod.

Using this lens at f8 (virtually wide open!) @ 1/750th and on a monopod is a different kettle of fish, entirely!

Given the circumstances and the curvature of field the Telyt is known for, one should be considered insane for even thinking of such a thing... except when it is simply a "target of opportunity". :-)

Thanks for the ID, and for taking the time to look.  :-)

Cheers!
