Well, nobody wanted this camera when I tried to sell it, and now I'm not
firmly convinced that I want to sell it, anyway. This using the Zuiko 4/75-150
zoom lens, scanned on Epson 4490:
This is a workman from next door that just killed a 4.5 foot snake that fell
out of the tree behind him. I took shots of the snake, but doesn't make for
comfortable viewing, trust me on this. 
ISO was set to 320 |

Damn fine shot, and a damn fine lens - I've been eying them ever since whatever the Pen equivalent focal length was... And you get better color off your ferrania 400 than I did from my first roll.

The 75-150 zoom was a surprise, a definite keeper. |

Hello.
Great shot, excellent framing. Good colors, too. I concur, Zuikos are fine stuff. I've got just a 50, but it's a killer, top sharpness and contrast.
Cheers, M.-

Marty and Jussi, thanks friends, for stopping by! Marty, I have a later-made
Zuiko 50 that is one of the best 50 primes I have. You're right, it is killer
sharp.
Jussi, have you tried the Ferrania 100, yet? I sometimes hit these with
"Autocolor correction" in PS, which does the trick. |

Nice one William!
Did he kill the snake with that rusty hunk of Bar stock?
Jeezuz.... we have snakes here but none of them require any killing.
Love the framing in this shot. The eye contact is great as well.

Andy, yes, he's holding what he used to kill it, the snake (in messy sections)
is at the other end of it. It is not listed as poisonous, but you can get a good case of cellulitis from its bite.
Yep, no poisonous snakes where I'm from in northern Idaho, too.
Thanks for your comments! |

Ron, it looked more like ichor of some sort, tough to tell against the rust of the post. Thanks! |

Tobias and Rolf, thank you, high praise indeed!
For those of us cursed with flatbed scanners for 35mm (Rolf, you don't need
to listen ) scanning with thumbnails crops the images too much, I lost part
of his elbow doing that and had to preview without thumbnails, enlarge it, and
used the frame lasso for the full image.
Thanks again. |

Paul, thanks! Here's the same snake, one I killed 3 or 4 years ago as it
was hissing at my cats, was afraid they'd get bitten:
The one he killed was larger. |

Make great pets? Maybe for some, not me. And I certainly wouldn't want to
be bitten by fangs that were in some rat, no, not. Sounds like small cats
would also be on the menu if they get to 5-6 feet. |

Fear of spiders? A lady in North Carolina lost one of her breasts recently
to a bite from a Brown Recluse. She waited till she could no longer wear
a bra and it became gangrenous. |
