036 Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺
My first shoot in TBT (near the bridge) using:
Zeiss 85 & CP4500
date: 5/4/2004
Can someone give help how to capture images in good focus and sharpness using this setup?
Many thanks!

Merlin,
We have the same setup as yours.
The following points are for your consideration:
1.If autofocus fails, change the setting of CP4500 to manual focus. Then adjust 85T to get the object in focus.
2.Use Nikon remote cord MC-EU 1 (electronic shutter cable) (HK$750) to avoid vibration when pressing the shutter-release button.
3.Use Zeiss quick-camera adapter (HK$3,300) to hold the camera rather than holding it by hand.
4.Set the ISO to 200 or higher to gain higher shutter speed.
5.Always set the magnification of 85T around 20~30 to get sharper photo image.
