Thanks, Chris. My hit rate certainly goes up when I use it. The
focusing action seems to be well matched to the finder of the E-1.

and the focus nicely.
I reckon Bobby is probably better than I am at finding the ball with that
skinny bat :-)

Well, I finished off the day by taking the E-1, set for ISO 800, and my lens of
choice, a 1971 Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50/1.4 (7-element) to a
twilight ball game. I shot around 18 frames and got 4 keepers plus some backup
shots.
My gr-grandson, Bobby, got a hit, and I can even see the ball:

His team mate also got a hit, and drove him in from third base:

Bobby scored a run and I am in a position to capture the action:

All this time, Lauren and Charlie are enjoying a snack in the bleachers:

I'm now convinced that the lens is worth my investing in a better M42 to 4/3
adapter. Looks like CameraQuest is going to make some money off of me.
