Took a good 5 months or so between buying a second hand HEQ5 and getting a picture. (Had to tap a hole as the locating nub on the mount had been broken off, and had to cad up and print a dovetail)
EOS40D, 200mm SMC Takumar telephoto, HEQ5.
Now i'm getting unhappy with my glass and the amount of chromatic abberation i see..

It's a world of difference from the EQ3 i've been using for 8 years or so..
