It's not a Canon lens. It has no f-stops. It's a Opteka 800mm lens. Very difficult to focus with.

My lens often gets the best of me. It has an IS, image stabilizer, that I usually forget to turn off when taking photos of quick moving objects. Took about 20 at the Iditarod before I realized that it was on and my photos were out of focus. Too much for my simple brain to remember sometimes.

I think the first movie I saw after we moved to Anchorage in 1965 was at the 4th Ave Theater. The movie was "Joniko and the Kushtaka." I'm not sure of the spelling of either of those names, and I think it was an Alaskan made movie.

And I used to love going to the Army/Navy surplus store. That's actually where we got a lot of our winter stuff as kids.

Good times, good times.

Why not show all the cars, equipment and people that can't move, because of ice, snow, and cold? :-) I would not tolerate that for less than 1/4 mill a year (cash) and as soon as I got the money, I'd be gone., They can have that stuff! wow.

Hate to bust your bubble but that stuff moves all year long. People, cars and equipment just keep chugging along.
