Walt:
By definition, any day where new OM stuff arrives is a good day.
My newly CLA'ed 85 mm F/2 came back from Photosphere today. Clint was
able to fit it with a new filter ring, and it looks great. Thanks Clint!
(And yes Ag-Schnoz, it IS a Silvernose!)
This could easily become my favorite lens. The "snap" of the 85 is
unbelievable.
I may play hooky this afternoon, and go shooting. I'm the boss, so no
one can fire me!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
