[Leica] IMG: OMD-Leica

[Ted Grant]

Hi Jim,
I had the Leitz 60mm lens and used it quite a bit.
Not that I ever paid much attention to the sharpness of any of my half dozen or more R & M lenses that were carried nearly every day some place as I rarely knew where my assignments would take me day to day?
But where you lads are inclined to have several lenses and a body or two.
I had days with 3 M cameras hanging off my neck, onto chest. PLUS 2 SLRS, MOTOR DRIVEN WITH DIFFERENT LENSES on my left shoulder and A 3rd SLR=MOTOR ON MY RIGHT SHOULDER, Certainly with the longest lens.240mm with
some days an extender making it longer depending on the subject being covered?
I had a profession that was my responsibility and I never had time to do all the fiddling things people do have time for.
But now at the ripe age of 90 years old
I'm trying things photographically I never had time for during the multitudes of past  years? So we shall see? maybe I'm a wee bit "oldish" to remember things on a daily basis? WE SHALL SEE? :-)
cheers,
Dr.ted grant O.C.

Thanks for the kind words, Ted.  Fortunately, these guys won't sting 
you, but they will fly straight at your face and make you duck for cover.

Fortunately, the old Leica-R 60 Macro lens appears to hold its own with 
modern sensors.
