[Leica] IMG: Monarch plus Abstract

[Ted Grant]

Hi Jim,
"Looking good?" :-) Thank you. But most mornings it takes the "MAKE-UP
CREW!" ;-) About 2 hours to get me ready to face the first cold winds of the
day!  ;-) 
cheers,
ted  :-)

Hi Ted,

I saw a recent photo of you, you're looking good!

Thanks, again, for the kind words about my photos.  I don't attempt to 
get perfect shots of the butterflies, with everything staged.  I just 
catch them going about their business.  Of course, it helps that I 
baited the field with a bush that most of them take a fancy to.

Recently, I've had good luck using older Leica-R lenses, a 50 Summicron 
and a 90 Elmarit.  They may be from the 70s and 80s, but they still 
perform very well at a reasonable price.  The latest glass is just 
beyond what I want to invest.
