Hi Chris,
Thanks. I don't look as well today, as the swelling has descended to
the soft tissue around my eyes, and I look like a raccoon. The
specimens have been sent to the lab, but I have not yet heard the
results. In all previous cases, he got it all out.

Nice shots, Jim, and you look well. Have they tested the bits that your
grandson removed?

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

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.)
