I might have stopped down just a bit, but the early evening light was getting a little low for that. Also, not having filed off or removed the little Fujica proprietary tab, I had about a mm of extension. Handholding that magnification & slim dof wasn't easy.

We have reviews of the Fujica f2.2 55mm lens here at PF, but don't stop at reading the rating numbers. Interestingly, if I remember correctly, all the people who posted wonderful pictures taken with the lens gave it a 9 for Sharpness. Conversely, none of the people who gave it a 7 for Sharpness posted any pictures taken with it. I'm not sure whether that tells us more about the lens or more about the photographers?

I put a slim rubber band around the back of the screw mount threads so that the lens would snug up to my m42 lens to k mount body adapter on my K110D and not leak any light on account of the Fujica tab. I won't be filing off the tab, because the lens came to me on a working Fujica ST605N body and I want at least one Fujinon lens to use on it. But I did want to see what the lens might do on a Pentax DSLR, That particular kind of bokeh came as a surprise when I looked at the file in larger size.

My first name is actually Steve, though I get called "Goats" or something like that more often. (There are a lot of other Steve's here already. Ha, ha. ) The signature honors Dartmoor Dave, a former member here, for his photos and interesting contributions. He not dead, just not a member now, and missed by several members.
