The first challenge was to find a subject that fit the field of view. This Tau Beta Pi key is 1 1/8 inch tall. Yes, it does produce a usable image, but the setup is quite awkward, shooting straight down with quite a klutz on the front of the camera. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Tau+Beta+Pi+Key+-+1951.tif.html And Frank, sure, the old Takumar may not have a lot of value in today's market, but you won't convince me that my butterfly images would be 1000 times better if the lens was marked "Leica". -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
