[Leica] IMG: Macro System

[Jim Nichols]

The Macro System that I employ to capture images such as the Lady Beetle 
series is a combination of two cultures from the past.  The Leica 
Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm lens is from the Leica-R series of SLR cameras 
circa 1980, a system that Leica abandoned.  The Olympus E-1 camera was 
Oly's first professional digital body, incorporating a Kodak CCD sensor 
which gives beautiful color rendering, though limited to 5MP.  It was 
released around 2004. The lens and camera, with the use of a simple 
adapter, fit together very nicely.  Though heavy, the combination 
delivers beautiful images.
