Thanks a bunch Tim - that was really helpful, as was the sample photo that you sent privately. Do you mind if I put that sample image up in the RUG Flickr gallery so interested readers can see it?
Your mention of tripod goes without saying to me. There are a lot of 500/8 Hassy shooters I have read about that say the lens is so-so. This made me immediately wonder what kind of support and long lens technique they are using. No doubt the new APO lenses are probably better yet though. Too bad that the SL66 misses the boat here.
One question - the 500/5.6 is focused by the bellows on the camera, correct?PS I have to assume the Hassy 500/8 is the same lens, just constricted to f/8 by the leaf shutter?
