We used to have the 35mm Macro for the E-Olies and L1 - Alice loved it.
70 mm was a bit weird as an FL, but worked for portraits too.

Thinking of it, it might still be in some unopened box in the the attic, 
along with the E620?
No rememberance of ever selling those two. Might also have been a now 
forgotten gift ...
Investigations will follow :-)

Anyway, there?s still high photo potential in old glass as Jim repeatedly 
demonstrates.

Keep them coming Jim
