Yes, you need to set correct FL for each old non stabilized lens. In A-mount with adapter or Canon AF lenses with Metabones there is "Auto" setting so you don´t need to change it. I have auto setting with Canon 135/2L but sometimes I forget when switching to OM 100/2 or CV 35/1.2 II..

Now that is a lens I had never heard of before. I will have to look. Great self portrait BTW, how many attempts did you need to nail focus?
Three or four, I think?
I used a 7" tablet and the Smart Remote app so that I could gauge the focus, frame, and release the shutter. It works pretty well.
It's quite a lens. Typically viewed more as a collectors item than a shooting lens. The big draw for me is it's compact size and low weight compared to other lenses of these specs (Canon, Nikon, Zeiss, & Leica's 180mm and 200mm f/2's). I've had the Nikon 200mm f/2 AI-S for a few years, which weighs 2700g. But the Olympus is a "mere" 1900g.

Thanks, hadn't thought about using the remote app.
Just read up on the lens on the net, quite a gem you have there.

Some shots around the OSU campus with the CV 10/5.6. If you're willing to crop a bit, it can sub for around a 14mm tilt-shift, due to the extreme width. Works quite nicely in that regard.
Bristlecone pines are long living trees in a protected area high in the White Mountains in Eastern California. The oldest pine tree there was scientifically dated and found to be over 5,000 years old. The woods contain a high level of silica, making them last weathering over a long period. Under the right conditions, they may even become petrified. Several uprooted trees barely show any decomposition after years.
The terrain of the forest is steep and makes it challenging to photograph. Although it was hot in the valley below, but due to its elevation of 9,000+ feet, it was cold up there.
Here are two images from the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest.
