I really like the rendering of that lens Jim, the OOF areas are very
pleasant.

Subject: [OM] IMG: A Lens from Way-Back

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.
