Wildlife Photos with a DMR

[dave lackey]

Since we don't have a place to put a discussion up on the forum about the Leica R/8/9 with DMR, I have placed it here.

Doug Herr continues to amaze me with his work:

So much so, that I have taken a re-newed interest in wildlife photography. As an avid hunter in my younger testosterone-filled days when hunting was the manly thing to do when one wasn't working at a job, I would have laughed at carrying a camera into the woods.

Not anymore!

This looks like fun...enough fun to pick up a 400mm lens for the R4. Now, let's see what still lies around in the closet that I can sell!😛

Anyone here using long tele lenses with the R-bodies?
