Also here's a many photo stitch with the 135:

And a photo I took the DA 40 XS out for :P

Very nice! Are you near the everglades? I see a bog in that last shot. Love the bokeh on that Takumar.

Nah the everglades are quite a ways south from where I am. There are plenty of alligators where I was though, they just weren't being very social today.

Some first shots with a new Nikkor 50mm 1.2 on a Sony A7RII with Mirex Shift Adapter and Novoflex Nikon to Canon EF.

Later today the postman had my Pentax 67 55mm 4.0, again at Sony A7RII with Mirex Shift Adapter and a Kipon 67 to EF ...

Now it is dark outside and i have to think twice if i will use the new lens at a job tomorrow.

Anyway it makes fun to have only one lens in the bag sometimes ...

The stitch looks awesome. The heron also looks very good.

There's nothing wrong with that lens (Takumar Bayonet 135 2.5). I had it, got the A 135 2.8, didn't think it was an improvement, so I sold it and got the Takumar Bayonet 135 2.8 (basically the same lens, perhaps the coatings were improved a bit since the 2.8 is newer). Those Takumar 135 K-mount lenses remind me a bit of the classic K 135 2.5 in their rendering. I know it's not the same optical formula but the pictures look somewhat similar to me. It's always been a very underrated lens I think.

Another underrated lens is the Cosina/Vivitar/Tokina 24mm f/2.8 - yes Tokina used to make their own 24 2.8 but they later rebadged the Cosina as Tokina. I should know, I own both! They're exactly the same lens, with a bit of copy variation of course, but everything looks the same down to the reflections of the coatings. The serial number on the Vivitar starts with 9 and not 37 - so Vivitar is the manufacturer, not Cosina. It even got sold as a Carl Zeiss lens

(Carl Zeiss Jena, that is... another proof it's a Cosina design, Carl Zeiss never badged a Tokina lens).

It was one of the lenses I took on a lunch walk today, hoping that there were still some fall colors out there. This is the Tokina branded lens, the Vivitar is in the K-S1 lens (yes that's how much I like it, I have one on each bag, ahaha - they sell for so cheap so why not? I paid 19 dollars on the Tokina and someone was selling the Vivitar in the forums for 30 dollars and it took a while to sell! I have no idea why...)

I would have snagged that one if not for a certain Takumar 20 that made itself available

Nice looking shots CR. You too, Robert9 - welcome to the forums!

M 28 3.5 from today's lunch walk.

I am really "clicking" with this lens (pun intended

) so I think my Sigma 30 1.4 might be looking a bit jealous...
