[Leica] IMG: Lesson Learned Part Two

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Jim, that seems to have good sharpness and contrast. It's nice to see how 
much you can get out of what are now greatly under-valued
primes. Is that really the evidence of a woodpecker? We don't have them 
here, except for woody on old re-runs. Looks like someone
let loose with a full auto BB gun!

Subject: [Leica] IMG: Lesson Learned Part Two

LUGGERS,

After blowing my first attempt to check out a lens with 4-yr old film, I 
threw most of the old stuff away and loaded a roll of C-41
B&W dated 2006.  With this film, I got the checkout that I wanted, and 
picked up a few interesting shots along the way.  I have
place seven of these in a "Black and White" album in my gallery.  

These images were made with my old Pentax Spotmatic and a Super-Multi-Coated 
Takumar 1.4/50mm.  This lens has a good reputation, but
is new to me and I had to find out for myself.  I am well satisfied with my 
sample.
