Thanks Bob!

Actually the secret may lie in the fact that I don't drink coffee at all!

Seriously, I am used to using the 400mm Telyt  w/2X on the shoulder stock, and 
it works quite well.  When stuck without it, I was amazed how easy the 
Canon/Telyt/2x combo was to use.  The main problem was the tendency to 'drop' 
the front of the lens when pressing the shutter release.  As a result, many 
shots were ruined, compositionally, by the lack of the shoulder stock.  
Luckily, amongst the dross were a few decent shots.

I continue to be amazed at the performance of the 20D with Leica glass, 
particulary at high ISOs.  The combination of the 1.6 multiplier and high ISO's 
is a real boon to wildlife photogs using slow lenses.

Thanks for looking! :-)
