I was interested in checking out the E-1 & Takumar 200/4 as a
combination I could use at the airport. Since most airport shots are
pre-focused, an accurate infinity stop is important. I had previously
ground the lens adapter to match another lens, but had no experience
with the 200. Though the day was overcast, I decided to stand at the
terminal building with the camera on a monopod and give it a try. This
image was shot of a departing Piper Arrow on the most distant runway.
It was shot at ISO 200, 1/800 at f/5.6. From the large view, I'm
satisfied it has potential.

For those who wonder why bother with the 15-yr old E-1, I would point
out that, in addition to the very good Kodak CCD sensor, it is also the
most robust camera body that I could choose for supporting the 680
ounces of metal and glass of the 1960s Super-Multi-Coated Takumar
1:4/200 with metal shade.
