[Leica] [OM] IMG: Macro System

[Jim Nichols]

The 100mm always seemed a bit "pricey", but I am very happy with the 60mm.

>> 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.
