Chuck,
I thought you might like to see this shot. It was made on a cold January
morning about 5 1/2 years ago, just after I mounted the lens. Having made
a miserably cold attempt to get some shots at a Civil War cemetery, I
pulled my truck into its parking spot and saw the resident male Mocking
Bird in a bare Cleveland Pear tree. I shot this from the window of the
truck, with the bellows at maximum extension.

Pretty good for that old timer. It's a little soft but not bad
considering the age. I noticed the reflection between rear element and
sensor in the red roof shot.

Exchanges with Moose, on the OM list, about older lenses, and his recent
studies in colors, led me to try a couple of experiments this morning.
I mounted my Ross London No. 6 Symetrical 8-inch f/16 lens, from about
1890, on an E-510, and put the combination on a tripod.
Aiming the camera at the Buddlei bush from quite a distance, I saw
butterfly activity. Snapping several exposures, I got a lucky hit.

I also tried an out-of-focus view of a neighbor's red roof and some
foliage.
