If there's a no pets rule I say it be relinquished immediately if not
sooner.

I picked up A 55MM 3.5 macro today for my Leikon FE2.
I'm excited as heck about using it as I have this afternoon but it got dark
fast. Of course when you're using it it's twice focal length in effect. But
at least its nice and compact.

Great shot Peter! Stupendous!
