I concur with cosinaphile.

Such a nice legacy your grandfather passed on to you.
Your grandfather has been looking after them extremely well.
They look new to me actually.

Both 20100306-P3060365.jpg and 20100306-P3060368.jpg are shot at iso400 and 1/100 in manual mode, and I see one is distinctively brighter than the other. All of them show bright, shiny glass. Can't wait to see the real world pictures  :)

Off topic: what OS are you running on your computer? I don't think I have ever seen such icons.

They are indeed as good as new; just had to mod the 135mm, because the aperture didn't work properly, but now it does (:

I am using Windows 7 and the recycle bin icon is just a different one which I got from deviantart I think.

Just had my crappy handy cam around...




Test samples - Not as good, but I didn't have enough time for an extra walk :I
All shots taken with the Minolta 50mm 1:2 mounted with an adapter from eBay.
