Well, you may be an old coot but you're still a handsome one. :-)
Gotta watch those scalp cancers very carefully. My father had them for
years and they eventually showed up as parotid gland cancers on both
sides. The parotid glands are Grand Central station for facial nerves.
The first one (left side) was not caught early enough to avoid
significant nerve damage from the surgery resulting in little to no
control of facial muscles on the left side of the face. He couldn't
control his left eyelid nor the lips on the left side of his face. The
doc was better prepared by the time the right side got involved and
there was no nerve damage there. Tell your grandson to be very
aggressive in treating those scalp problems.

I received a 1984 Leica Elmarit-R 90mm lens yesterday, and have spent
some time today getting accustomed to it. The first image explains why
I am limiting my activities. My grandson removed two possible skin
cancers from my scalp on Thursday. I'm not very attractive, but I was
the only portrait candidate available.

The second is a Silver-Sided Skipper on the Buddlei bush

The third is an unidentified very small yellow and black beetle

My first impression is that it is sharper than the lenses that I have
been using, and the images crop nicely, an obvious advantage for photos
of small insects. As for portraits, supposedly handled well by this
lens, I will await a pretty subject before offering an opinion. (The
f/2 version is specifically designed for portraits, but I chose the
f/2.8 to keep the weight down.)
Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
