Ah, "dark slide shutter." At ƒ/1.2. Looks like a job for a wet plate, which has an ISO of about 1.

Canon FD 500 F/4.5L has to be the favourite lens here

Technically, the 4/3 lenses are adapted on m4/3 - even tho they do not necessarily feel like it given that they actually have auto-focus and data is reported to the camera.
The 11-22mm is one I do not use often, but it is hard to fault it as a wide lens.

I haven't used mine in years, although it won me a couple magazine covers fifteen years ago. It's one of those that, when you look at the paltry resale value, you hate to part with.

This is a down and dirty comparison of the OM Zuiko 100mm f2.8 and the old screw mount Leitz Elmar 90mm f4 (from 1946). I left the Zuiko image as it came out of the camera, except to resize. The Leitz I tweaked to look close to the Zuiko but also include the original, unaltered version. At larger sizes the increase in local contrast from the Zuiko is obvious, but it doesn't appear to resolve more detail than the old Leica screw mount. The reason for this silly exercise? I am probably going to include the Sony a7ii with two old Leica lenses (this 90mm and a 50mm f2 from 1952) in my kit on my trip to Laos in about 3 weeks. Many times I like the lower contrast of the old lens. I can always get blacker blacks in post if I want them.

I have to echo what @John King said... these a seriously great shots. Obviously the lens gets some of the credit, but I have to applaud the eye - and patience - of the photographer, as well

Courtesy of Steve Was, I'll get him back one day. So I do get kind of grubby out there, get home and Jan always says, you are washing those !!
The lenses come in very handy when camping as well .......

Thanks Miguel, but it's very easy when manual focus is all you know. I did add AF with the Sony around 18 months ago, but it doesn't feel the same, so I still go out with the MF teles now and again..

I agree and the funny thing is, it took me years to understand and appreciate it.
