I visited a consignment shop in Ft. Worth and spotted a Soligor 35/f 2.0 lens in m43 mount, a FL I was missing, so I bought it. I later learned that the C/D inscription meant it was computer-designed. I decided today to take the lens out for a spin.? (Did I mention that this lens focuses down to 1 foot?)? I spotted two butterflies around the Buddleia, so I moved in closer and tried with no success to get some images.? The smart insects managed to keep foliage between themselves and the camera. Finally, I saw the Monarch fly away from the Buddleia and I snapped in that direction. I got a single image of the butterfly. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20210903-DSCF2691-Enhanced.JPG.html I know my 50-200 Oly lens would have done a better job, but it wouldn't have been a challenge. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
