[Leica] IMGs: Some test shots with Elmar

[Douglas Barry]

Aram,
They look pretty good on the monitor, but I'm still really experimenting 
as my mobility was terrible for the last while. That may be changing 
following a new procedure this morning. I'm hoping to get out and about 
tomorrow while people are doing things for Paddy's Day. We'll see.
