I push the phone button for "SPEAKER-PHONE!" Trust me your neighbours can almost hear the conversation. :-) And it works fine even without hearing - aids inserted. cheers, Dr. ? ted :-) -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Jim Nichols Sent: January-07-16 10:13 AM To: LUG at Leica-Users.org; Olympus Camera Discussion Subject: [Leica] IMG: Found Around the House Because the weather is threatening this morning, I looked around the house for suitable subjects for the new Fuji 35/2.0 lens. The first thing that caught my eye was the vintage Western Electric telephone on my desk. It remains in use because it has an amplified handset, which allows me to forget about hearing aids while working at the desk. (I first checked to see if the Macro setting of the X-E1 works with this lens, and it does not appear to change the minimum focus distance.) http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/DSCF2808fm.tif.html Next, I tried several shots of the pie crust table by the picture window, and ended up using flash against the back lighting, then converted it to B&W. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/By+the+Window.TIFF.html My conclusion is that the lens focuses very quickly and accurately, even at minimum focusing distance. Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
