Forget about looking through it for the little bitty floaties things between the elements.....not important at this moment, as I'm interested in what you do when you test to shoot your first rolls of film and how you do it. Short and sweet is better, as I have 5 new lenses to work with: 105 -- 280 f4.2 R zoom 80 -- 200 f4 R zoom 21 asph. M lens 35 asph. M lens 50 asph. M lens f2. So here you are, a chance to spill your guts on how you would do it compared to me. I of course wont tell you upfront how I over the years have "tested" a new lens. However, I will "tell all" how I do mine as well as the results, after I have done my thing and possibly taken some of your suggestions to heart and tried. Thank you all very much in advance for whatever contribution you make. ted
