I mounted the Ross London No. 6 Symmetrical Lens, circa 1890, on the
Fuji X-E1 and a tripod, and went for a walk in the back yard. I came
upon a very cooperative (for a while) Gulf Fritillary that allowed me to
grab a few shots.

Then I moved on to the Sedum plants and found a lot of small insects. A
Pennsylvania Leatherwing, or Soldier Beetle, was sharing space with the
first Gray Hairstreak butterfly that I have ever seen:

To appreciate what this old lens can do, please view the last two images

Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
