[Leica] IMG: Swallowtails

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Ted,

I work hard for out of focus backgrounds, but it does bother me when the 
feet, or the closest edge of the wing, are fuzzy.  This morning, with 
the same lens, I tried f/4.5 instead of f/3.5. Focusing was still ok, 
and I gained a little DoF.  I'll post a shot later.

Thanks for your kind support.
