Subject: [Leica] IMG: Taking AG's Suggestion, Iris with Telyt 250

When I posted an earlier image of the first Iris to bloom this year, there 
was discussion of the difficulty in getting good Iris images.  Ken Norton 
(AG Snozz) said he did best with a long lens.  I decided to try his 
suggestion, using the Leica Telyt-R 250/4 on my Oly E-510.

I think Ken is correct.  I get better isolation from the background with 
this lens.  Thanks, Ken.

Comments and critiques welcomed.
