The film was developed by an online developer/print service ( Seattle filmworks) at that time I did not have a scanner but they provided scans on floppies disks. This is the main reason why the resolution is so low. It turned out ok for me because I like the mystery and shadows and the softness of the focus. A long telephoto lense is the most difficult to use because any motion in the camera during the exposure blurrs the shot. Even the vibration from the mirror (in slrs) affects the shot. I don't think that camera has the option of flipping the mirror up before tripping the shutter. That maybe another reason why is is not as clear. The other problem with telephoto lenses is loss of light, you really loses it in long lenses thus making focussing a trick. I bought this lens without thinking too much and as far as I can remeber there are only 2 photos I liked using it. This one and one of some ducks. To me it was a waste of money! I never carry it with me anymore, too heavy and then you NEED a Ttripod to use it, which adds more weight to load!
This is the original.

Seems worth it when you get shots like this one. Perhaps not all the time, but when you're heading out for serious shooting.
This is one of the best pictures I've seen ever.
I posted earlier about a story it reminded me of .... bet it makes a lot of us think of a story.
Thanks, as always, for sharing.
