Barry,

I used the lowly, under-rated, down-trodden and often scoffed at Zuiko 135/2.8 MC with a Vivitar 36mm Auto Extension tube on an OM-4, with cable release and mounted on a tripod.

Film:  Kodachrome 64.
As I recall the lens was wide open and shutter at either 1/30th or 1/60th. It was late in the day and losing light quickly. I vividly remember a breeze swaying the hanging plant and its blossoms driving me crazy with composition and focus, and praying the shutter speed was fast enough. Took about a half-dozen trying to time it when the moving blossoms were in the right position.

I've found the Zuiko 135/2.8 MC has a very smooth bokeh when used at its wider apertures for a very narrow DOF.

Thanks!

Congratulations! VERY nice, particularly the perfect depth of field
and seamless bokeh. What lens did you use?
