Gosh, I do not have many pics of my cameras...but I do have two!

First off my Bessa R, a Cosina-made 35mm film camera that uses Leica thread mount lenses, see here with the 35mm f/1.7 Ultron Aspherical lens.

and second, my Canon 5 D, shown fitted with an Olympus 28mm f/2.8 Zuiko Auto-W lens, and to the right the Vivitar Series 1 55mm f/2.8 1:1 macro, and in the back left the Asahi Super-Takumar 135mm f/3.5, and on the right the Asahai 200mm f/4 Super-Takumar.

I payed $140 for it in the summer of '84 with a clean silver-barrel 50mm f/1.4 SC Auto-Nikkor on it. I preferred the 50mm f/2 lens, and sold the 1.4 many years ago.

I love that F. It's a 1963 that I revived (there's a thread here somewhere) and modified to accept the FTN. After about 6-8 months, I JUST found out the meter works. :lol:

And that 50mm f2 is fantastic-you're right. Even looks pretty good. Only thing I want to get that might replace it is a Micro.

Do those Oly lenses go to infinity with that adapter? I have a thin FD-EOS adapter that doesn't.
