[Leica] IMG: Bee and Verbena

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

A friend of mine knowing my interest in cameras gave me four old film 
ones along with a few lenses, and other ancillary bits. Sadly, all of 
the cameras require greater or lesser work to make them functional, and 
some of the lenses have fungus thanks to his living abroad in places of 
high humidity. Looks like I'll be busy over the winter with some tiny 
screwdrivers.

I've never tried removing fungus before, so if any one has a sure fire 
treatment let me know. That said one of the seemingly okish lenses is a 
Miranda 70-210 f4 Macro which thanks to its Pentax fit will work on my 
A7ii. Here's a dullish handheld shot taken with it. Not being a macro 
man, I can only admire the patience and fast reflexes demonstrated by 
many on this list who produce excellent macro images day in, day out.

BTW has anyone here had success with extension tubes on a Sony A7 for 
macro work?
