This photo was taken with the OM-4 and the OM Zuiko 600/6.5 Super-Telephoto lens on Fujichrome film. The lens is very sharp if you can control the vibration, but it is a bear to do so. On a digital camera, it is a very useful lens, on film cameras, not so much. Highly recommended if you can find one, but remember that with a maximum aperture of F6.5, you will want a live-view camera. For use with the OM system, an OM-2S would be the recommended camera as the aperture pre-fire on that camera reduces the camera shock. Camera-subject distance is approximately 1/2 mile.

St. Joseph's Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Dubuque. The church is located in Elkader, Iowa, United States, at 330 1st St., NW. The church and parish hall are both listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
