Today I took The Girl into Tachikawa, the nearest large (sub)urban center to our home. I showed her how to use manual-focus camera lenses and we had a fine time on a day when the weather was perfect: bright and clear. She had previously expressed disdain for the manual lenses I showed her but she spent the whole time with my old SMC Pentax-M 50mm on her second-hand Olympus E-M5. She's done pretty well with learning to focus.
Curiously when I got home I found the polarizer on the lens had fallen apart. I'd put a wide lens hood on the "out" side of the polarizer and it's my theory that it introduced to much strain as she cycled home with the thing bouncing around in the basket of her bike. Dang!
