Dewey, Another Old Shrimp Boat Friend

It was good to see Dewey again and he volunteered to have an updated photo taken – had not seen him in three years. For this series I have been using an Olympus E-P2 with a VF-2 Electronic Viewfinder. This camera body has the feel of an old viewfinder camera. But the most fun with this camera is that I can adapt my old Nikkor AI lenses. The lens has a 2x multiplier, the f stop is not displayed in the viewfinder, also the f stop has to be set on the lens, and focusing is manual (this can be very accurate with the 10x display function). The metering works since the viewfinder shows the shutter speed and the brightness changes as the aperture is changed. On this and the Charlie photos I was using a 50mm, f 1.4 lens (think it was set at f 5.6), what a great portrait lens with the 2x multiplier (equivalent of a 100mm lens)!
