[Leica] IMG: Monday Misc. - Jim N.

[Ted Grant]

Hi Jim,
Well my friend now that's a very nice photo certainly in this case of Grand&GREAT children.
However good fellow the lens is only as good as the "PHOTOGRAPHER" using it!!!!!!! :-)
 It is beautiful, but it's great because "YOU TRIPPED THE SHUTTER RELEASE AT PRESISLY THE RIGHT MOMENT!!!"
Oh sure the lens captured the moment, but it was your ability in doing so that made the "lens look good!"
cheers,
ted

Thanks, Don.  But, in spite of its performance, this lens is about 45 
yrs old.  It also makes quite good portraits, as shown by this example 
from several years ago.
