May I show you a photo of the partial eclipse as was seen from Lausanne:

As I understand, the clouds actually help taking a reasonable picture of
the *partial* eclipse. I would hate the clouds if it were a total eclipse
with the visible corona.
The technical data of the photo is:
Camera: OM4T with plain autoexposure
Lens: 50-250/f5 + Vivitar macro 2X at widest aperture (still slow, you
know..) Exposure was around 1/60, hendheld. I cropped almost half of the
picture out.
The focus of 50-250 passes infinity, so it was really very difficult to
focus to infinity at dark (because of the darkness, and the doubler).
Why-oh-why do some lenses deliberately pass infinity?!!!
