Charles, if that's junk, you've redefined the word.
Lovely stuff.

I tried to take some photos at a show with my "kit" lens and figured out
after about 5 minutes that it was a hopeless disaster. Too dark, the
focus would take forever. And the lens is just too slow at f5.6 from
most of the zoom range.
So I pulled out the old glass. A28 f2.8, A50 f1.7, M135 f2.5, and my
dad's old M40-80 f2.8-4.
These older lenses do a much better job of pulling in the light
(although I discovered that the 40-80 zoom has some weird sort of
blooming around the highlights. A disappointment as the zoom range was
perfect for the close quarters I was working in.). Focus could have
been even better if those darned band members would just stop moving!
In any case, I'll just toss some of this junk out there. People will
think it's OK or think that it stinks. I've seen so many amazing photos
from this list in the past months that I'm almost afraid to share, but
that's what a list is all about - sharing your ideas and your work.
Looking forward to compliments or criticism, if anyone is so inclined.
