Wow!!! Quite the dramatic backdrop on the Caribou shot. Very nice!
Love the Raptor shots and Ptarmigan too! The fledgling owl is great.
Would love to see the Harlequin ducks too. Very cool. Thanks!!

Wonderful shots on this thread!
You Leica folks have gotten to me (especially that pesky denoir fellow!
) -- first Zeiss glass, and now I'm considering my first Leica lens to mount on Canon EOS bodies.
The lens in question is an "R" 60mm Macro that has had the ROM contacts added. I expect it is not the older Frankenstein lug hood mount, but not positive. I've bought a B+W Kasemann CPL from this seller before, so I know he is honest and collects great gear. Does $580 sound like a good price?
Anything else anyone can tell me about their experiences with the lens and how it might compare to the 50/2 'Cron, or even the Zeiss Contax 50/1.4 that I'm loving at the moment for panos?
Thanks in advance. Jim

How was the weather when you were there?
I hope I see some sunny days with nice cloud action when I am there.
Must have been quite a trip.
+100. Homer / Kenai Peninsula / Anchorage - pretty much cloudy all the days I was there. Had gorgeous weather in Denali / Mat-Su valley / Wrangell - St.Elias and over the Denali Highway. Covered a lot of ground (~ 1800 miles over 1.5 weeks) this trip. This is my third trip to Denali, and it is the first time I actually saw parts of the Mt McKinley from inside the park 
. Got skunked, royally, the first two times.
Sounds like you went to a lot of places, look forward to seeing more of your AK trip shots!

At Denali National Park I recommend the shuttle bus instead of the tour bus. You'd have much more freedom to stay in a good location when the bus moves on because you can catch a later shuttle bus (if space is available).+1 for...Show more →

An overlook of the Alaska Range some 90 miles west of Paxson, AK over the Denali Highway, looking NNW. The white reflective spots are lakes, and those "small" stubs on the lower third are tall spruce / pine (?).

I think you have to see the mountain ranges in Alaska in person to understand how massive they are. Great shot

The foothills on either side of Mt. McKinley are 14,000' tall, the height of the tallest mountains in the Sierra Nevada or Rockies.
