I received my monopod yesterday, and tried it with the E-1 and the only two
200mm lenses that I have, the Ross 200mm f/16 from 1890, and a Pentax Takumar
from the 1970s. The monopod helps with steadying the camera, which I will find
useful. Surprisingly, the Ross lens holds it own with its more modern, though
old itself, competitor. Colors seem a little brighter with the coated Pentax
lens, but the Ross seems a little sharper.
Here is a Ross image, again, shot through a storm door glass.

This exercise makes a Leica-R 250mm f/4 Telyt look very interesting.
Comments and critiques welcomed.
