Great shots, and a good coverage of the machine. Despite what has been
written about there being little difference in performance, I suspect the
14-54
lens is noticeably better than the 14-45.
I look at machines like that, and see all the design work and marvellous
metal technology, having been used and sturdy parts made, being left to rust
and waste. Seems a great pity.
Thank goodness recycling is being done in some places now.
Interesting to see the wooden seat for the corn-harvest dwarf on the left in
shot 35.
