Hi Philippe,

I'm too much of a tightwad to buy the newer APO lenses, but the Leica-R 50, 60 and 90, along with my old Telyt 250/4, will be the ones I keep, because they offer a lot of fun at a minimum cost. I have a few Fujinon lenses for AF work, and they seem to be very capable. Most of my other stuff is worth more to me as memories than it would bring in resale value.

Thanks for looking.

When I began collecting Leica-R lenses, I knew I wanted the Elmarit 60 Macro.  
The one I have was purchased from the daughter of the previous owner, who, 
before his death, used it almost exclusively to photograph flowers.  I have 
continued his tradition.

The Fujifilm X-T2 sensor finally gives me a body that matches up well with the 
lens.  I purposely made the enlarged image larger than usual so that the viewer 
can appreciate what this combination can produce.  Hand-held, down on shaky 
knees.
