[Leica] IMG: Olympus/Leica Butterfly Kit

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Ric,

No, I'm bracing beneath my right shoulder, viewing with my left eye, and 
firing with my right forefinger.  My left hand grips the vertical 
support beneath the lens.

Of course, the lens extends when at 200mm, and there is a large clip-on 
hood.

At 89, I'm not as stable on my feet as I once was, and my eyesight is undergoing some changes.  To compensate, I recently acquired a used Olympus ZD 50-200 Autofocus lens and a used Leica-R shoulder stock (thanks, Doug Herr).  Currently, these are paired with my original Olympus E-510 4/3 camera body.  I have been quite pleased with the results I have managed to achieve with this setup.  Here are a couple of photos of the kit.
