Well, as anyone who has even a mere passing familiarity with birds will tell
you, blue jays are noisy birds, so ...
Anyway, I figured SHQ and JPEG would tell me as much as I needed to know about
which of the "heritage" Zuikos perform acceptably on the E-1. Now I know: damn
near all of 'em. I was even quite pleasantly surprised by the 500/8. Up the
contrast a tad and clone out the donuts, and this becomes a more than passable
1000/8. :-)
I still haven't tried the 1250/10 Celestron, though. I think a moon shot might
be a good start. Perhaps when I'm feeling better. I have a cold, you know,
and now that my wife is back home, I'm not wasting any opportunity for sympathy
and being coddled.
Walt, feeling a little feverish (cough, cough)
