SMC Takumar 100mm f/4 macro mounted on K100D with Pentax made M42 adaptor.
All these shots were handheld, so not the best representation of the lens abilities.

That's a cool shot ... actually looks a little vintage as well with the sepia tones in it.
Either that's a cat big cat on a sign ... or that's a big cat on the wire ... LOL

Would you believe I've driven over that road for years and have never seen the cat? I had to enlarge the picture to spot what the heck you were talking about!
I'll have to hunt that thing down and see what it's about. I can tell that it is a "Maneki-neko" (beckoning cat), which is a figurine traditionally used at the entrance of Japanese businesses to invite customers inside. What the heck this one is up to....I have no idea.

I have seen similar as well ... I think Chinese and Korean have something similar ... there are different types of figurine cats from what I have seen as well.

Nice shot fearview, wish I could see larger size to check out the bokeh.
I have a question about the Tak 85's. I see they get a pretty good review in the lens data base. Anyone have more shots taken with this lens. 85 f/ 1.8 or 1.9 ? Any info would be great.
Thanks a bunch!

There have been several shots posted in this thread taken by the Super Takumar 85mm f/1.9. Simon is now the proud owner of my copy, but here are some shots I've taken with it before.
