This is amazing. I sometimes see clouds similar to this that have a real 3-D or major visual depth effect, but my captures almost always look flat.
Nikon D1 with 400/6.3 Tele-Astranar.
I had one of these lenses as a Kid, used it on an Argus/Cosina STL-1000 throughout High School, traded it decades ago.

It is a T-Mount lens, adapters readily available for most mounts. Preset Aperture.
Bought this one on Ebay for $15. Even less than the $35 paid for it in 1971.

It has some reach, and is very light.

Would be perfect for a Kid on the High-School Yearbook that needs to shoot some sports. I used mine for that, and for Airshows.

gorgeous. what do you think of your new 40-150? i got mine yesterday, only took some test photos, but it performs much better than the $35 i paid for it!

managed to take a few shots over lunch yesterday. It's a good lens and I'll probably keep it.
I learned two things about myself though:
-the sensor stabilization of the m43 bodies spoiled me for long lenses. Have to work on my handholding technique
-the m.Zuiko 75-300 is an excellent lens to have. For wildlife/birds 150mm is just a bit short. (but that's of course not a "fault" of the 40-150mm lens )

I'm still not sure what it is (the sensor or the image processing pipeline - or both)... but something definitely got lost in the modern cameras...
(On the other hand current cameras allow us to take photographs that weren't easily doable with the old gear. So I guess you win some and you lose some... )
that golden canopy is beautiful. Our trees aren't as far along, but I'm looking forward to shooting some fall colors, for sure.
That's just lovely!
