[Leica] Dear Doug

[Doug Herr]

What an opportunity this is!  

Step 1: find a decent, overlooked lens model from 30 years ago
Step 2: take some pictures with the lens
Step 3: if it's a good lens, buy all available
Step 4: post report on social media
Step 5: put all but one or two on eBay & watch the price balloon
Step 6: split profit with Frank for giving me the idea

;)

Would be funny if this actually worked!

>I really respect your technical abilitiens. Your photos of wildlife are simply beyond good. I even take back my tongue in cheek accusation that your bird pictures being taken from taxidermy subjects. (How else can a human get so close to wild birds?)

>I sincerely hope you will continue to offer such reviews or share your techniques in taking really superb wildlife photos. However, would you consider keeping the audience a bit smaller so that we, your email friends, can partake first?

>Lest someone think i am serious, yes i am. But only in the praise of a truly generous man who is both technically proficient, and has the phitos to prove he can not only technically work under pressure, but has a portfolio to prove it.
