The purple flowers at the bottom sets off the butterfly magically. Its an inspiration. All I have is a 300 4.5 Nikkor non auto focas I got in 2005 bit it will have to do. Makes we want that 200 macro (I used once) or tele zoom macro. -- Mark William Rabiner Photographer On 9/14/17, 1:53 PM, "LUG on behalf of Jim Nichols" <lug-bounces+mark=rabinergroup.com at leica-users.org on behalf of jhnichols at lighttube.net> wrote: Years ago, I purchased an older Leica lens from a former LUG member in Nashville. It is a 1980 Telyt-R 250/4, a generation earlier than the APO lenses. Tina's shots yesterday with Ted's great lens prompted me to drag out the 250 and visit the butterflies. I mounted it on an old Star D tripod and took it out to the Buddleia bush. Here are my favorites.
