[Leica] IMG: Takumar 50/1.4

[Douglas Barry]

Good catch of the reaction from your son, but it looks a bit soft or 
OOF, Jim. Maybe the shutter speed 1/60th was just a little too low, and, 
of course, the XT-2 could easily take a higher ISO than 1250, I'd 
imagine. I see the camera thinks you had a 250 mm lens on it :-)
