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

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Ted,

With 12 great-grandchildren, they are a favorite subject when I can 
catch them paused from their usual activities.  I try to keep my 
equipment on such occasions very simple.  So, many times I carry one 
camera and an autofocus lens.  But, on the day I took that shot, I had 
an early Olympus professional digital camera and an oldy but goody 
Pentax lens.  They served me well.
