Hello,
My name is Patrick Werner and I am an (extremely) amateur photographer. I
live in Knoxville, TN and I enjoy photographing my adventures in The Great
Smoky Mountains, state and local parks; and documenting my 2 year old's
adventures. I use a recently inherited LEICA R4 that is in new
condition. I have two lenses; 1:2.8/60 and a 1:3.4/180. I found this
group at David Young's direction after I stumbled across his website. I
hope to have pictures up on a website shortly.
Thank you,
Patrick Werner
Welcome Patrick!
Thanks for the short bio. Always nice to know who we're talking to! (IF
you wish to read other intros, check the archives at:

And for those of you who have not yet introduced yourselves (there are more
than a few of you!) use Patrick's note as a template and tell us a little
about yourselves!
And you, Patrick, inheriting an R4 (nice camera) and two terrific lenses.
You are, indeed, one lucky guy!
You might not know, but your 180/f3.4 APO was developed for the US military
and was intended to remain top secret. However the contract they drew with
Leitz Canada, who designed and built the beast, failed to preclude Leica
selling a consumer version! Their mistake, our gain!
The 180/f3.4 APO has such high resolution at infinity that the initial
press releases stated that resolution was "limited only by available film"!
Mind you, the 60 MACRO is not exactly a slouch either. You've got two very
fine lenses. Consider yourself a lucky man!
Again, welcome to the group!
