[Leica] [OM] IMG: A Lens from Way-Back

[Leland Deane]

Jim,

I woke up this morning to the list and or post. I am just blown away by the
flower image. Every lens is a reflection (no pun) of the era that it was
developed and how people envisioned photography. I found myself instantly
transported to a time over 100 years ago.

Thank you so much for making my day!!

I want more of these please!!

Best regards,

Leland




I love the idea of putting a lens from the 1890s on a camera from the 2010s.

Cheers,
Nathan

mounted my Ross London No. 6 Symetrical 8-inch f/16 lens, from about 1890,
on an E-510, and put the combination on a tripod.
