[Leica] IMG: From a Different Angle

[tedgrant at shaw.ca (Ted Grant)]

Hi Jim,
Absolute common sense logic re-purchasing an expensive lens as you mention. 
Now if you were being paid a very nice daily shooting fee in the $500.oo to 
&1000.oo range it would be well worth it! :-)
Then again it could be just the opposite and the fee has no bearing, as one 
loves shooting their "Photo-projects" strictly for the love of it! :-)
Trust me, I have had a couple of photo projects along those lines and they 
were so incredibly satisfying just to shoot, money was never a 
consideration. And no I couldn't have bought a better lens even if I wanted 
too! 
Cheers,
ted

Hi Ted,

Thanks for the kind words.

These photos are actually small crops from digital files made with 
lenses that I already own, and are purely for on-line enjoyment.  They 
won't blow up to the size you are suggesting. The longest lens I'm using 
is 135mm.  I have a 250, but it is heavy and stiff focusing.  To 
accomplish what you suggest, I would have to invest in a 300-400 
autofocus lens, around $1600-2000, and I can't really justify that.  I 
have seriously considered that option, and discarded it.  I enjoy 
shooting for 15-20 minutes, then loading the images into Lightroom, and 
finding the few that are worth pursuing.

Thanks again for looking and for your suggestions.
