[Leica] IMG: Bee and Verbena

[Lluis Ripoll]

Douglas,

I’ve never heard that Verbena was the name of a flower, this is a Spanish name used for the party of the St. John Solstice night, here the tradition is make fire works, fires, a special cake, Cava (Catalan Champagne) and Dancing, the young people add swimming on the beach

Cheers
Lluis

Sadly, all of the cameras require greater or lesser work to make them functional, and some of the lenses have fungus thanks to his living abroad in places of high humidity. Looks like I'll be busy over the winter with some tiny screwdrivers.

That said one of the seemingly okish lenses is a Miranda 70-210 f4 Macro which thanks to its Pentax fit will work on my A7ii. Here's a dullish handheld shot taken with it. Not being a macro man, I can only admire the patience and fast reflexes demonstrated by many on this list who produce excellent macro images day in, day out.
