[Leica] IMG: Old is New Again

After dealing with noise in extreme crops of birds from the images 
produced by my 50-200, I decided to try another lens/camera 
combination.  I put a 2X extender on the Leica Telyt-R  250mm and 
adapted that combo to my Olympus E-M1, enabling the digital extender.  
This allowed me to use a magnified image on the rear screen, which 
greatly improved fine focusing.  So, I'm effectively using a 500mm lens, 
with a magnified focusing aid, on my micro 4/3 camera.

 From the usual array of squirrels and birds, I chose this hungry House 
Sparrow as my target.

To me, it looks promising.  This makes manual focusing enjoyable once more.
