I finally got sick and tired of sitting home with the 100% cloud cover and ventured out.
The sun came for the two shots of the brick building, the others were with the clouds and misting. The brick building is an abandoned building along a small creek (I am not altogether sure these two are from the Optar- It is a strong possibility they are from the Anastigmat 1A Autographic 130mm lens), the railroad shots were near a small re-built station near a local short line, the car in the tunnel and the archway shots are the old water relief ways for the railroad that is approximately 60′ above them.
Obviously the Sun makes a large difference in the sharpness of the shots. The camera is my Olympus E-510. The lens was removed from an old shutter assembly and mounted inside a 135mm M42 lens that was terminal. The focus helix is functional, there is no aperture adjustment.
