Jim, in the mean time you can buy a doubler for the 210zoom, which will
make it 420, just as good as a 4X10 bosch & loom binoc's, I use this while
I wait for the bucks to buy the 1000. If you use slide film remember
that on a screen the bird will be much bigger. Or if you want to spend
$10, or so on an enlargement, a speciality developer can crop out all
the empty space and just enlarge the "bird". (ask your campus photo
shop as to where do they send their special projects that they cann't do
in house.
