Some flight photo practice. Discovered today I need to check my lenses for cleanliness as a TC caused some foggy pics due to having a hand print. Live and learn.

Yadda-yadda - who put the bloody sweaty paw mark there in the first place then I'd like to know :razz: :razz:

Nice capture Tim :toast:

Any more finger-prints on glass and I'll have you relegated to a Practica - or a Zenit with no meter if I'm in a bad mood :biggrin: :wavey:
