The Macro System that I employ to capture images such as the Lady Beetle
series is a combination of two cultures from the past. The Leica
Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm lens is from the Leica-R series of SLR cameras
circa 1980, a system that Leica abandoned. The Olympus E-1 camera was
Oly's first professional digital body, incorporating a Kodak CCD sensor
which gives beautiful color rendering, though limited to 5MP. It was
released around 2004. The lens and camera, with the use of a simple
adapter, fit together very nicely. Though heavy, the combination
delivers beautiful images.
