[Leica] IMG: For Aram

[Jim Nichols]

Aram, I pondered your question about using the Takumar 135 on a bellows, 
and decided to try it.  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.

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".
