[Leica] IMG: Macro Lens with Extension

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks!  You are correct, Tina, it is very difficult to hand hold.  The 
success rate would be ridiculous if I were shooting film.

This requires placing the lens just a few inches from the subject and moving slightly to achieve focus.  This first image of a bee is the full image vertically, with only the ends cropped to remove extraneous plant matter.
