Nice shots, Erwin. Here is a link to my shots of the
same eclipse from the Black Sea.

We had perfect weather, as you can see. I was using
my OM 1 with a 70-150mm Vivitar Zoom with its 2X
matched multiplier for 300mm. I am going to Zambia
next month for the eclipse there, and have
significantly upgraded my gear with a Zuiko 200 f4
with a Zuiko 2X converter. This set up is vastly
sharper - you can see the difference just through the
view finder. I have done some moon shots as tests,
and they are very sharp. The film I used in the Black
Sea was Kodachrome 200, and I was not very happy with
it. It has a weird effect - reciprocity I suspect -
of turning the corona pink. In other shots on deck I
thought it had an overly warm yellowish cast. I am,
as of now, thinking of using Kodak E200 in Zambia.
Anyone have a better recommendation?
