Thanks. I've also confirmed that it is a Silver eye. The lens is just a Sigma 600mm f8 mirror telephoto. It doesn't really have anything else to identify it. It's sharper than I was expecting though...if you get the focus spot on, which is a little difficult. James ----- Original Message ----- From: "P. J.
