[Leica] 135mm Apo-Telyt-M on Sony a7rii

[Jim Nichols]

Paul, it's beautiful, but I don't have the patience for that much 
post-processing.  I just shoot for my own enjoyment, so I can choose my 
poison. :-)

One of my frequent subjects is a skydiver at low altitude, and at 
touchdown.  I have found that a Pentax Takumar 135/3.5, mounted on an 
Olympus 4/3 camera, works great for this purpose.  Autofocus lenses, 
with no hard infinity stop, are the worst.
