 Lee,

 The lens seems to do fine. Copying this link from your gallery will 
 make it easier for folks to find it.

that I developed an interest in the Leica SL but it is unused as I
have abandoned film and it and my M?s and screw mount cameras sit
holding down the floor of shelf. So far I love it even if it seems to
have more controls and menus than any of my old SLRs. I have no SL
lenses and have been using my M and R lenses. These lenses seem to
work very well, but someday I shall buy a new lens.

counting migratory birds. He seemed quite sleepy. I got to within 30
to 50 feet of him. He did not seem to want to open his eyes, which are
large and yellow. After the snaps, I left him to his nap.

I hope that you will be able to find the photo in the gallery.
