When my Sigma 400/5.6 APO Macro is set at infinity, it has another 10*
or so of rotation left (beyond infinity), at 65*F ambient temperature.
It was dark so I

Nope. With big glass there's always some range beyond infinity to
accommodate thermal expansion.

the infinity mark isn't actually focused for an object at infinity except at
a specific temperature.

That would be infinity on any lens shorter than 393 miles in focal length.

with me, at 300mm, I had
to focus slightly nearer than infinity for the sharpest image.

Bah - I got to see it in Manhattan, but by the time I got home to Queens, it

Amazing pic, Mark! Thanks for sharing.
btw check out http://www.mreclipse.com/LEphoto/LEphoto.html
it has some really nice hints for photographing eclipses (the site
appears to be down right now), especially 'eclipse trails' or multiple
exposures

It's perfectly clear here in Michigan, but I'm not going to shoot it. I
took a quick look though. That's enough for me.

I went out with my SFX and the MX, loaded the SFX with my consumer grade
Tokina 70-210 and my consumer grade 2x Vivitar teleconverter.
I don't expect sharp pictures, I'll be happy as long as there's

I don't have a long tele, so I was planning to try multiple exposures
using an old beat-up Yashica A TLR - well, maybe next time!
