[Leica] IMG: Another Way to Snap a Butterfly

[Ted Grant]

Hi Jim,
This is shot so well one would think they were looking at the real life
butterfly. So sharp and crisp with brilliant colours! And not an image on a
screen! Good on you!
cheers,
ted

> After seeing Moose's recent fly captures, I became interested in trying an
extension tube, though I don't have any of the modifying optics he has been
using.  My only extension tubes are M42, so I attached the 9.5mm tube to my
Takumar 135/3.5 lens.  The usable focusing range seemed to be approximately
2 - 5 feet, not bad for butterflies.  To get a few more MP, I used my Oly
E-510.  This gave me the equivalent of a 270/3.5 lens.

minutes on the greenery on my fence.  This was the only view and lighting
that I had available.  I tried focusing at several stops, and it was not too
difficult.  I suspect this was taken at f/8.
