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.

;D 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.

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...

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