........... and in terms of build and content quality they will be, or
will be capable of, going strong long after you have moved on to the
next life! I frequently look at and handle my M3 and 1970s era 50 / 1.4
Summilux lens and realize that the camera manufacturing industry will
never again produce a product of such quality and longevity. Like
iPhones, today's photography products are designed and constructed to
barely last beyond the next day's sunrise.

Those old lenses are worth their weight in gold!! They have their own look
that really has nothing to do with digital. I love your Painted Lady.
It's a pain to use the old lenses - they are heavy, manual focus, not
nearly as easy as digital, auto-focus plastic lenses, but as your photos
show, it's worth the trouble!!

Years ago, I purchased an older Leica lens from a former LUG member in
Nashville. It is a 1980 Telyt-R 250/4, a generation earlier than the APO
lenses. Tina's shots yesterday with Ted's great lens prompted me to drag
out the 250 and visit the butterflies. I mounted it on an old Star D
tripod and took it out to the Buddleia bush. Here are my favorites.
