"You have cancer." No one wants to hear those three words. Especially not twice. To say Karen Norton was 'Overwhelmed' when she first heard she had breast cancer is an understatement. As a wife, a mom to two young girls, and a part-time music pastor supporting her family, she already had enough on her plate. But then came those three ominous words.

'Overwhelmed' is a journey of one woman's life of health issues that seemed would never end. Would her world ever be the same again? Would she survive? Could she ever be the person God wanted her to be in this life? Would she continue to struggle with health issues and the emotions related to the changes? Would she understand why God tested her with health issues?

OM-1 with mirror lockup
Vignetting = A
Distortion = slight pincushion
Aperture Center     Corner
f/5       C-        C-
f/8       C         C
f/11      C+        C
f/16      B-        C+
f/22      B-        B-
f/32      B         B-
Notes: Lens shows high contrast at the expense of lower resolution, the latter which is probably due to harmonic vibrations from the OM-1 shutter and automatic diaphram mechanism.

200mm f/5 Zuiko (multi-coated) with Olympus 2X Teleconverter
OM-1n with mirror lock-up
Vignetting = B
Distortion = none!
Aperture Center     Corner
f/5 (10) F         F
f/8 (16) D-        D-
f/11 (22) C         C
f/16 (32) B-        B-
f/22 (44) C+        C
f/32 (64) D+        D
Notes: Lens shows good contrast at f/16 at the expense of lower resolution; remarkable lack of distortion. Poor results are the result of harmonic vibrations caused by the OM-1n shutter and automatic aperture mechanism. Nearly impossible to focus even with a Varimagnifinder and a 1-8 screen.
