Dogs? I'll have to take it out of its kennel for walkies.

I bought the Pen F this year out of curiosity from another photographer who 
mentioned that he had one mouldering away in a cupboard. He was happy to 
take 40 euro. Based on a quick blizzard of shots taken outside my office on 
a test roll and dropped across to the C41 man across the street, I was happy 
with the purchase and the lens seems fine based on that limited test. That 
said it's mouldering away in my own cupboard <grin>. I've been too busy to 
shoot another film with it, so will stick in a roll tomorrow and give it a 
more leisurely go. If it was good enough for W. Eugene Smith then I suspect 
it's good enough for me.
