They go for the seeds big time! Best wishes, Matthew -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+matthew=hunt.tc@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+matthew=hunt.tc@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Jim Nichols Sent: 01 May 2008 18:40 To: LUG@Leica-Users.org Subject: [Leica] IMG: Goldfinch My M42 to Oly 4/3 adapter arrived this morning, so, of course, I had to sit under a shade tree and see who would pose for me. This is my first attempt with my Pentax Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR 200mm f/4 lens on my Olympus E-510 (400mm equivalent). There is no chip on my adapter, so focus is purely manual and a little more difficult than I expected, using the standard viewfinder screen. However, for the occasional wildlife photo, it will probably do fine. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Goldfinch.jpg.html C&C appreciated.
