Telephoto text

The description you added to telephoto lens sounds too much like something directly copied out of the book. How about taking a shot at rewriting it to sound more encyclopedic, so that I don't have to, and we avoid a copyright violation problem? I fixed up the refs in that section and toned it down a bit already. Dicklyon (talk) 05:36, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yankiwi, I got the papers you sent me; thanks. Based on your paranoid-sounding anonymized letter and your editing history, I'll go ahead and just regard you as the author that you pretend not to be. Be aware of WP:COI. I'll see if I can use the material to improve the article. Dicklyon (talk) 05:45, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
