I picked up some old lenses that are meant for the old SLR cameras.  With an adapter, I can use them on my E-620 and get really nice results.  The only drawback is that I lose autofocus capabilities.  So, looks like I have to practice a bit with using manual focus.  These are from the Oly with a OM-mount 50mm f1.8.  No choice... gotta go manual focus.

Whatever you did, Gary, it worked!

  Thanks, Jeanne heheheh

Beautiful, I love the last three...Very partial to those colours!

That is some nice quality glass.

Personally, I think it's good practice to have to go manual sometimes. We lose a lot of skill with our autofocus gadgetry.

In my case, it will be a skill I never had!  heheheh

Nice job on those!  I especially like the second one from the bottom.  Super nice bokeh!

I agree about going manual.  Unfortunately, I'm having to rely more and more on my autofocus, especially outdoors in the bright light and it often fails me.  I did recently clean my contacts on my lenses and camera and it helped a little.  I may need to upgrade my camera to one with more focusing points sooner than later due to my eye condition.  Oh well...  (if you don't know what's wrong with my eyes, you can learn about it on my vision blog: http://myfuchsjourney.blogspot.com/

Thanks very much.  I kind of like the way the bokeh came out, too.
