Then they are certainly worth a try!

How about SP, and yes, screw mounts.

It was past my bedtime, Jim.

If memory serves me correctly, the SE is K-mount, while my Pentax lenses
are M42 screw mount.  You can find K to Oly 4/3 adapters for as low as $10
on *bay, but, if you want to use them on the E-1, watch out that you don't
order the micro 4/3 variety, which is more plentiful these days.

Looks like you've built a winner, jim.
Shear coincidence, but I just "found" two Pentax SEs on the bottom drawer
of my camera cabinet. Both with 1.4/50s.

Can't remember ever using them. This while looking for that Vivitar Series
1 SW zoom to try on the E,-1.

It's true... The memory goes first.  🕸😵

Thanks, Chris.  Behind the AT-6, I think I could see the 1946 Piper Cub in
which I learned to fly.  He owns it now, but, it is not high on his
priority list.

I wanted one final check on the 50/1.4 Takumar after giving it a
sunlight exposure, so I took a walk around the hangars at the airport
this
morning.  In Don Rounds' shop, an AT-6 is being serviced:

Next door, at the hangar belonging to our local auto dealer mogul, his
KingAir 90 is getting a wash job:

And, on my return, at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Lifeflight hangar, the medical evacuation helicopter is ready to
respond:

Looking at these images, I concluded that the whites are fine and the
lens is ready to go to work.

Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
