[Leica] IMG: Another Legacy Lens

[Jim Nichols]

When I bought a Pentax Spotmatic many years ago, it came with an early 
"kit" lens, a Takumar 55/1.8.  Although I later acquired  the 50/1.4 and 
the longer Takumars, I still have the original 55. I always felt it was 
a slight bit sharper than the favored 50/1.4.  Though there is little 
action in my yard these days, I took the 55/1.8 for my walk today.  
Along the fence, near a Rose of Sharon bloom, I found this Fiery Skipper.

Next, I found a Carpenter Bee visiting a Buddleia bloom.

And finally, I caught this Silver-Spotted Skipper in flight, above the 
Buddleia foliage.

Even with an adapter, the 55 makes a fairly light kit with my Fuji X-T2.
