Hi Rick,

When I enlarge the antennae of the Gray Hairstreak, I see details that I don't usually get with my latest lenses. The only things that appear to be new in the last 100 years are digital sensors and post-processing. :-)

Wow! I almost missed the grey ghost in that last shot.

My bad for viewing on my mini DROID.

Jim makes that old glass sing.

I mounted the Ross London No. 6 Symmetrical Lens, circa 1890, on the Fuji
X-E1 and a tripod, and went for a walk in the back yard. I came upon a very
cooperative (for a while) Gulf Fritillary that allowed me to grab a few
shots.

Then I moved on to the Sedum plants and found a lot of small insects.  A
Pennsylvania Leatherwing, or Soldier Beetle, was sharing space with the
first Gray Hairstreak butterfly that I have ever seen:

To appreciate what this old lens can do, please view the last two images
LARGE.
Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
