Oh boy, My adapter came today. Nikon AI to Olympus Pen-FT - Suddenly I have a raft of lenses I can use. Here is what a few look like on the Pen-FT
James, the Olympus F looks quite interesting, it is a reflex see through lens camera right?

Starting to look good.
The large number of workers would indicate to me that the the plaster needs to be applied as one continuous coat.
How long will it take to refill?

Rafael,
Yes, it is a SLR. The whole mirror box has been turned 90 degrees so instead of flipping the mirror up and down - it flips open and closed like a door. Also, the shutter is a rotary plate of titanium. It shoots half frame 35mm portrait orientation frames 18x24mm. So each roll gets twice as many shots as rated. 48 frames for a 24 exposure roll - etc.(usually more) It is an innovative engineering marvel imo. I did collect the OM system for a while, and despite it's beautiful engineering, and finishes - I just felt the lenses were not good enough. This camera has one famous lens that I am aware of - the radioactive 40mm f1,4 which my copy included. It has a painterly rendering that I like, but I am not done testing it. I always intended to use Nikkors and Schneider lenses on it.

Kayakers and Canadian Geese with the 180mm f2.8 AIS. I missed focus in the geese shot (actually ended up focusing on the front row of geese rather than the dominant middle row), but used Luminar to sharpen the middle row enough for web-size viewing.

After a long and active period with my AF kit, I put the AI Zoom Nikkor 28-45mm f/4.5 onto the Z5 and took a coupleof images from a view site at Brenton on Sea in Knysna this afternoon. I find the lens easy to use and with focus peaking adequately sharp.

This all started 15 years ago today, (thanks Curtis)! Who would have believed it would still be going?
And what a ride it's been - although I've drifted into camera club work including writing newsletters and running zoom meetings, I still pop in from time to time to see what my old friends are up to.
What I'm so proud of is the civility that has (almost) always graced this thread which is amazing.
Just my special thanks to all of you who have made my MFNG journey so much fun.!
