I'll have to play around with that some more... Thanks!

Thanks! Yes the A70-210/4 worked well on that trip to South Africa, used it for all the safari outings. You have to shoot from a big jeep, so larger lenses/tripods are out. Manual focusing was no issue either with the wildlife.

Phil.

Those are such pretty flowers. Some are growing wild next to a walking path my wife and I walk often. We took some seeds to plant for ourselves. I also captured them on Ektar.

Yes, lilles are beautiful flowers and they are quite photogenic.
Here's one that I shot with a 67II back in 2009 on Fujichrome Velvia RVP.
This was the 2nd roll of 120 film that I ever shot with the 67II, and the first time I tried using the reverse adapter for the 67. I didn't have a metered prism so I used a handheld meter and then just kinda guessed for the difference that reversing the lens would cause. Just to be safe I took 3 bracketed shots, adding a stop to each exposure.

Mainland Greece, May 1978. Taken with an SP 500 on Ilford HP5 film developed in Ilfosol 2. My lens kit at the time consisted of a 55mm f/2 Super-Takumar and 28mm f/2.5, 100mm f/2.8 and 200mm f/3.5 Vivitar lenses. I assume that this was taken with the Takumar.

You and dsmithhfx must have an impressive archive of photos of houses, buildings and landscapes by now.
