After grinding on my M42 adapter to trim it to spec thickness, which caused 
the focusing index to move 45 deg from top center, I decided to see how the 
lens worked in practice.  It takes a little time to get used to it, but not 
too bad.

Found my first butterfly on the butterfly bush, even if it was a lowly 
Skipper.

I also found a threat lurking in the shadows among the Rhododendron leaves.
