I shot around 18 frames and got 4 keepers plus some backup shots. My gr-grandson, Bobby, got a hit, and I can even see the ball: http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/P4234493-1.jpg.html His team mate also got a hit, and drove him in from third base: http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/P4234496-1.jpg.html Bobby scored a run and I am in a position to capture the action: http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/P4234499-1.jpg.html All this time, Lauren and Charlie are enjoying a snack in the bleachers: http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/P4234484-1.jpg.html I'm now convinced that the lens is worth my investing in a better M42 to 4/3 adapter. Looks like CameraQuest is going to make some money off of me. I appreciate your patience with me. Comments and critiques welcomed. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
