Thanks for looking , Chris. Some old lenses perform better than others when paired with a modern sensor. I think this one makes the cut.

It’s great to be able to play around like that with old and new, Jim.  I’m going to 
get my Zuiko 50/1.4 out again and see how it performs.  It’s not a stellar example, as I 
remember, but it should make a decent portrait lens.

I have always been impressed by the results I got from the old Pentax 
Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50/1.4 lens.  While watching softball on TV, I shot 
a few images from my recliner, not worrying about being square with the 
subject.  I played with Exposure Adjustment to try to get somewhere near the 
correct light.

I was impressed, once more, by how the lens performed on the X-T2.
