[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I was interested in checking out the E-1 & Takumar 200/4 as a combination I could use at the airport.? Since most airport shots are pre-focused, an accurate infinity stop is important.? I had previously ground the lens adapter to match another lens, but had no experience with the 200.? Though the day was overcast, I decided to stand at the terminal building with the camera on a monopod and give it a try.? This image was shot of a departing Piper Arrow on the most distant runway.? It was shot at ISO 200, 1/800 at f/5.6.? From the large view, I'm satisfied it has potential. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20190307-P3077725.JPG.html For those who wonder why bother with the 15-yr old E-1, I would point out that, in addition to the very good Kodak CCD sensor, it is also the most robust camera body that I could choose for supporting the 680 ounces of metal and glass of the 1960s Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 1:4/200 with metal shade. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
