I swear, I can't understand why anybody buys new lenses when there are so many fantastic Takumars still floating around out there.

Thanks very much. Of course, sometimes it is nice to toss the colors out and start over again:

Here is one from a SuperTakumar 55 2.0. I love these lenses! I have this one, the 35/3.5, and the 135/3.5. I almost never use my AF lenses any more.

Great stuff, not just the lenses, but the compositions. Some real photography going on here.

Mike, that 105 is blowing me away. Those shots are really, really nice. The B&W shot of the woman just looks perfectly exposed, the metal railing in the background reflects true-to-life, the 'metal' is reproduced perfectly. Nice stuff, truly.
