Thanks all!
To put it into perspective.... @ the native Uzi reach of 338mm... I probably could've watched it travel across the EVF for a second whilst holding the camera stationary... The motor would be practically unrecognizable with Yamaha being barely as defined as whatever that says under Yamaha in this at this magnification of 969mm view....
Gary,
You might want to keep an eye out for the Zykkor 1.5x tele Reversable to .5x W/A. You might like it for stacking.. It's a spacious 58mm thread that is perfectly brutal albeit bright by itself & looks like this http://www.pbase.com/rrawzz/image/13241323 & came in this arrangement like thishttp://www.pbase.com/rrawzz/image/13241322 but when hung between the Uzi & B300 almost rivals the c210 alone, only with more reach & less vignetting... Plus it can be hung from the front of the c210 without much added softness, abberation or significanly adding to the dark corners... Worth every bit of the $15 {incl. shipping} I paid. But only as an add on to another adapter... Not neccessarilly soft by itself but produces outrageous fringing in purple & yellowish-green. As a W/A alone when it's reversed. Aside from the fringing a bit too distorted for my liking but you might be able to fix it & lose the fringing too....

Good one, Ross! That's a lot of lens to pan smoothly with, but you kept with the boat perfectly. Too bad you couldn't have gotten the water skiier behind them though...8^)

great shot! Hope you were on shore though. I guess the poor driver is the
only one who had to face forward. Looks soooo cold.
