Aside from the aesthetics of great butterfly shots, WOW.  That lens is no 
slouch.

Subject: [Leica] IMG: An Older Leica Lens

Years ago, I purchased an older Leica lens from a former LUG member in
Nashville.  It is a 1980 Telyt-R 250/4, a generation earlier than the
APO lenses.  Tina's shots yesterday with Ted's great lens prompted me to
drag out the 250 and visit the butterflies.  I mounted it on an old Star
D tripod and took it out to the Buddleia bush.  Here are my favorites.

Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
