At lunchtime today, I loaded up the OM-4T with a roll of Gold 200, mounted
the 300/4.5 with a gob of extension tubes and went tulip hunting. Shot an
entire roll then dropped it off at the one-hour lab on the way back to the
office. I'll pick the processed film up on the way home.
Whether or not the film turns out is secondary. They sure looked great in
the viewfinder and that was most uplifting to me.
As to the wind--always wind... I'm glad I had ISO 200 film. Even so, I
took plenty of shots because F8 doesn't give you much shutter speed.
