[Leica] IMG: Found Around the House

[Ted Grant]

Hi Jim,
Sorry nothing to do photographic... BUT TELEPHONE!" :-)
Like you, I to wear hearing aids,,,,,, THANKYOU ISREALI ARTILLARY 1967!!!!!"
:-)

Even though hearing aids work fine on calls, but a trick I learned a short
time ago. 
I push the phone button for "SPEAKER-PHONE!" Trust me your neighbours can
almost hear the conversation. :-) And it works fine even without hearing -
aids inserted.
cheers,
Dr. ? ted  :-)

Because the weather is threatening this morning, I looked around the 
house for suitable subjects for the new Fuji 35/2.0 lens.  The first 
thing that caught my eye was the vintage Western Electric telephone on 
my desk.  It remains in use because it has an amplified handset, which 
allows me to forget about hearing aids while working at the desk.  (I 
first checked to see if the Macro setting of the X-E1 works with this 
lens, and it does not appear to change the minimum focus distance.)

Next, I tried several shots of the pie crust table by the picture 
window, and ended up using flash against the back lighting, then 
converted it to B&W.

My conclusion is that the lens focuses very quickly and accurately, even 
at minimum focusing distance.

Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
