Playing with the Vivitar Series 1 135mm f/2.3 (Canon FD mount) on the E-PL5. I believe this was taken at f/5.6. This was my favorite lens on the old Canon SLRs, but it hasn't been a great experience on the E-PL5 so far. 1) My copy has developed something that looks like fine oil droplets on the lens elements, which is hurting contrast and probably sharpness. 2) It's too heavy for the small camera body, especially when I'm trying to hold it steady with a magnified view for focusing. 3) Pretty bad purple fringing at large apertures, which is where this lens always shined with film. - Cluster of Monotropa uniflora
This unusual flowering plant, which goes by such names as Indian Pipe, Ghost Flower, or Corpse Plant, is white because it lacks chlorophyll. It depends on a fungus for its nutrients; the fungus, in turn, depends on other plants. Emily Dickinson called it "the preferred flower of life," and her first volume of poetry (published posthumously) had the flower on its cover. - Columbian ground squirrel
