Subject: [Leica] IMG: Mockingbird, Then and Now

I've had several favorable comments on the "portrait" of our resident 
male mockingbird, taken with the X-E1 and Leica Telyt-R 250/4.  Three 
years ago, almost to the day, I photographed the then resident male.  I 
can't say whether or not it was the same bird. The interesting thing 
about that image is that it was made with the 5MP Olympus E-1 and a 
Ross/London lens from the 1890s.  To me, at screen viewing size, the two 
images are roughly comparable in quality.

Maybe gear is just a way of finding an image.................
