[Leica] Olympus 510 with Leica-R lens

[philippe.amard at tele2.fr (Philippe AMARD)]

Nice move Jim
And very fine results

now comes the difficult part; which lens to use with the crop factor, 
but also, plenty of pleasure ahead for you, and lots of excellent photos 
for us to see I believe

Thanks for sharing your experience
