I'm ashamed to say my primes usage has been flagging lately.

My last prime outing was in mid-February with the Super Tak 35/3.5. I'll do my best to rectify the situation!

[ until I can come up with the $ and convince myself I really do need another type of 50mm, I will just have to be satisfied with this one ]

Here are a couple shots from today at the Beach and I took a few BIF shots of a Dump Duck as it swooped over the beach. Today was the first FA 77 shots with my new KP. Heavily cropped but minimal processing in DXO.

I'm planning on taking my Tak 20 out for a spin tonight! Meanwhile here's another with the ST35/3.5 - tree clinging to the sandstone. This little lens is a gem.

Yup - and they share the same optical design, of course with the Tak lacking the newer coatings. As long as bokeh isn't required, the rendering and microcontrast are to die for
