Thanks Moose. I almost deleted the first one and my interest was more in how 
the lens renders bokeh.

I have too many lenses now that need adapting, and not sure how much my 
interest will hold.  This Oscillo Raptor adapts reasonably well I may ditch the 
rest. 

For most of my photography, though, nice sharp lenses win. For instance, a 
recent local hike (5 miles up the road) I took several lenses, but ended up 
only using the Voigtlander 35mm f1.4 Nokton classic on A7Riii. I now have a few 
OM lenses and was thinking this might be a great hike for the OM-4T and some 
Provia.
