Subject: [Leica] IMG: From Another Old Lens

After shooting the DC-3 with the screw-mount Summaron 35mm yesterday, I 
was reminded that I had another old screw-mount that I should evaluate.  
This is the Steinheil Munchen Culminar 85mm f/2.8.  I took it out for a 
few minutes in 92F heat, and made a few images.

A few birds were visiting the feeders:

And the Japanese Beetles have taken over the Buddleia Bush.

(*Lluis*: Please see if the tiny blooms look more natural in this shot.)

While the old lens still works, focusing is a pain.  It was much easier 
with my Leica.

Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
