Well, I finished off the day by taking the E-1, set for ISO 800, and my 
lens of choice, a 1971 Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50/1.4 
(7-element) to a twilight ball game.  I shot around 18 frames and got 4 
keepers plus some backup shots.

My gr-grandson, Bobby, got a hit, and I can even see the ball:

His team mate also got a hit, and drove him in from third base:

Bobby scored a run and I am in a position to capture the action:

All this time, Lauren and Charlie are enjoying a snack in the bleachers:

I'm now convinced that the lens is worth my investing in a better M42 to 
4/3 adapter.  Looks like CameraQuest is going to make some money off of me.

I appreciate your patience with me.

Comments and critiques welcomed.
