Thanks for the comment, Vic. I didn't notice the swans look bigger. Only that they are too white! Some of the swans are relativly close to the camera, perhaps a few hundred yards. The habour and ferry are perhaps 4-5 km away. A 135mm is equivalent to appr. 200m. With the 1.7 AF adapter the focal length was 229mm, equivalent to 344mm on the *ist D. Regards

They surely make the fascinating element in this picture. What's the 35mm equivalent of your 135mm lens on the istD? Groeten, Vic Jens Bladt wrote: > I shoot panoramas. > This one i for work.
