Re: [OM] OM 135/2.8 and 1st photos of 2016

Mike and Philippe,

I picked up a 135/3.5 in M42 mount when I was using a Spotmatic, and 
still have it.  I mount it on my Oly E-510 and use it as a "lightweight 
270mm" for skydivers and airplanes on the runway at some distance from 
me.  It is a fairly sharp lens, and renders colors in a manner that I 
like.  At present, it is "permanently" attached to the E-510.
