Now, maybe that is why my shoulders are sore.......................... :-)
(It couldn't be from pushing a wheelbarrow loaded with a cut up rotten
branch that fell from an oak tree.............................. )

I understand why you're so fit Jim.
I unfortunately gave up bodybuilding a couple of years ago ;-)
Keep them swinging :-)

Mike and Philippe,
I picked up a 135/3.5 in M42 mount when I was using a Spotmatic, and still have it. I mount it on
my Oly E-510 and use it as a "lightweight 270mm" for skydivers and airplanes on the
runway at some distance from me. It is a fairly sharp lens, and renders colors in a manner that I
like. At present, it is "permanently" attached to the E-510.

My first camera as an "adult", i.e. I paid for it with money that I earned, was
a Spotmatic + 28/3.5 +135/3.5. Those lenses were smaller than the Zuikos of the same FL
which I picked up with my OM1 after selling the Pentax
Followed the same route and had the same lenses, but can't entirely agree - the
135's barrel was massive. And it was heavy as lead, not speaking of the ultra
slow 42mm thread, my reason for the change. The 28mm which I sold last year
only, was cute indeed.
and they were at least as sharp.
Or nearly, but the Pentax body was clunky and much larger. Can still hear the
slap and bounce of the mirror.
