Subject: [Leica] IMG: Happy to see you

Thanks, Jim. Tilly (our Border Terrier) had jumped into the car and was 
"singing" with delight that one of her favorite people had come to visit.

The J-8 comes from a Zorki-4 that I inherited from a dear friend who is 
no longer with us. The camera is clunky and inconvenient, so I decided 
to just keep it as a memento. But the roll of film I shot with the Zorki 
showed that the lens is quite good.  I recently decided to get the lens 
shimmed to work on a Leica. I just got it back. I like the Sonnar 
rendering for some things, and I feel a connection with my late friend 
when I use his lens.
