Tiny in the garden.

I cut down a lot of the plants that died in the recent freeze, and Tiny proceeded to rub up against each remaining stalk.

I recently received a Vivitar Series I 90mm f2.5 Macro lens for cheap. When I got it in the mail, I realized why. It looked like someone had stored it in a very damp place (perhaps the bottom of the sea) and the lens was so crusted with fungus that it looked like hard water deposits. I couldn't see through the lens it was so cloudy. I took the lens apart and cleaned the glass in a peroxide ammonia mixture. Some of the glass was etched from the fungus, so I couldn't fix that. I ended up stripping the entire lens down and cleaning all the parts and relubing things that needed lube. The lens isn't 100%, but I can at least use it now, and it seems relatively sharp.
