Well Lester was nice enough to throw in a 35mm lens a Tokina with this camera that I got off the free drawing.. I shot a roll of Polypan but I think I am not sold on the metering of it just yet.... I think also I was using ASA 50 film on a strange day... I know it has manual and AE metering but I thought I would give it a try mostly on the Program mode with the lens in the green dot. I though did use it in other modes... I won't say at this time what shots were on what mode but I will say it is a perfect camera in my hands...  I will shoot it more and finish this first roll I shot but I think tomorrow in the off and on rain I will try some 400+ film in it to test the 1981 metering Program mode. Smiley Some of these shots were taken with a flash and the 50mm but I have to say I think this may be my new Truck camera...

Nice stuff, Larry.  I've yet to use the OM-1 from Les, but I hope to very soon.  Had other test-rolls of other cameras to run first, unfortunately.

Those look pretty good, Larry.  A good combination to have.

Larry,

I did see this one when you first posted it, in another thread, and that it was taken with my old AE-1P
My comment was, "I think it was revolting." My droll sense of humor, or perhaps drool.s closer. I like the shot, a lot.

Yes, chatting on FB was fun.
