Thirty years ago, when computers were getting involved in lens design, I was shooting a Pentax
Spotmatic. I visited a consignment shop in Ft. Worth and spotted a Soligor 35/f 2.0 lens in
m43 mount, a FL I was missing, so I bought it. I later learned that the C/D inscription meant it
was computer-designed. I decided today to take the lens out for a spin. (Did I mention that
this lens focuses down to 1 foot?)Â I spotted two butterflies around the Buddleia, so I moved
in closer and tried with no success to get some images. The smart insects managed to keep
foliage between themselves and the camera. Finally, I saw the Monarch fly away from the Buddleia
and I snapped in that direction.
I got a single image of the butterfly.

I know my 50-200 Oly lens would have done a better job, but it wouldn't have
been a challenge.
That's a very cool shot. Love the back ground rendering. You captured a good
one.
