[Leica] IMG: Flutterbys Using the Takumar 135

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks, George, but I had trouble getting him to pose................ :-)

The short extension tube would work fine on an optical bench, but the 
focus movement is too sluggish to use tracking insects.  It does produce 
nice images if you are lucky!
