Thanks for looking and for your comments, David.
1) These are not full frame. They're about 1/4 of the original picture area.
Despite the serious crop, the second photo fully fulfills my expectations for
the 280 APO with 1.4 extender :-)
2) she's doing very well, at 1 week old she was already 1 lb over birth weight
and we can see the changes in cognition almost daily. My daughter is already
saying that little Kaydence is growing up too fast. I'll be back in Sacramento
next weekend.
