I had the opportunity to photograph Pope John Paul II in Edmonton in the spring of 1984. Even though I was freelancing for the papers at the time security was tight, even back then. I was a long way of from the Pontiff but with my 200-500 mm Tamron lens and a 2x converter was still able to capture a few images from the crowd. This was on 400 ISO Kodak film stock of the time and was shot hand held at 1/125 @ f11. It was extremely windy that day so it made things very difficult to get clear images. Thank goodness for the image stabilization in today's lenses.
