...Here's Troy Bayliss, 2001 World Superbike Champion, during World
Superbike practice....entering Turn 5 at Laguna Seca, July 2002. Shot with
my Olympus OM-2S handheld at 400 mm using my Zuiko 200mm f/4 and a 2X-A
teleconvertor. Film is Fuji Provia 100 RDPIII, and was scanned on my
Minolta Dimage Scan Elite II film scanner.

Handheld at 400mm? Wow. Nice shot.
Thanks! It's tough to use a monopod while shooting over the
chainlink fence with spectator access, so I take my chances and shoot
handheld. I've been doing it so long now (20 years this year) that
panning with a monopod seems cumbersome.
Would have been a MUCH better shot if was done with a DSLR though. What's
the OM thing? Is is a brand of Microdrive?
:-)
Richard, why yes, you're right...it would have been! Dang! I need to
get one of those confangled things! Thanks for the tip! :-)
The OM thing is the latest in WiFi capable flash media! <wink>
Cheers,
Stephen.
