Thanks, Jim!
Not quite the fine detail that my old Vario-Elmar gave me, but then that may be
due to [a] a lens less than half the price, [b] the dirty window or, most
likely, [c] the reduced depth of field, due to the very close distance.
Still, I'm pretty happy with it.
Thanks again,for your kind words, and for taking the time to look.
David.
