[Leica] IMG: Lesson Learned Part Two

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Jim,

These photos are perfect and sharp as a tack. My favorites of the  
group are shadows, patterns and berries.

It's really funny you mention the old Spotmatic and SMC Takumar  
50/1.4. I loaded up my Spotmatic II last night and will be using it  
today. I just picked up the Super Takumar 50/1.4 for $41 and am very  
anxious to try it out. I'll have to post a picture or two when I  
finish the roll and get the negatives scanned.

Best Regards,
Len
