[Leica] IMG: Feeding After the Rain

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Since the old E-1 metering system quit talking to the shutter, I decided to 
see if the camera worked reliably in Manual Mode.  I mounted the Leica 
Telyt-R 250/4 and grabbed the monopod and meter, and went out to look at the 
feeders.  I had just refilled them, so there were the usual visitors.

Insofar as I can tell, the shutter is reliable and accurate.

In keeping with discussions by Chuck, Moose, and others on the Oly list, I 
installed a no-name battery that was bought on e**y and charged up a couple 
of years ago.  It worked just fine.

These Cardinals monopolized the red feeder.

This female was willing to share the dropped seeds with the ever-present 
sparrow.
