yeatzee · 04-10-2011, 02:48 PM

I can join now!

First a setup my friend owns

now my stuff (sorry no good equipment shots :ugh: )

w/ 2x TC

Takumar 300mm F/4, 18 aperture blade version (quite the sight!)

All handheld, and my first real test of the lens

Now the auto-takumar 55mm F/1.8

and testing its flare capabilities

I thought this club might be interested in this auction. I wouldn't normally post to other auctions but I thought this was unusual.

Taken today. I would definitely vouch for the Meyer Optik / Pentacon 135mm if you like monstrous bokeh.

I tried out my new Edixa A.Schacht Ulm Travenar-A 50mm f2.8 under very bad lightning, free-handed slow shutter and ISO800.

Schacht Travegar 100 f3.3. I like this lens a lot.

Steinback · 11-28-2011, 04:17 PM

Picked up a couple more M42 50s recently and I'm gradually testing them out.

The kit lens on many of the earlier Mamiya M42 bodies, the AUTO mamiya/sekor 50mm f/2.8:

I'm surprised that this thread still hasn't made its way into the lens club forum.

The flower shot is a beauty!

Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 timed from a moving car:

That's another under rated lens ( Pentacon 50 ) which gives great results for very little money. I should use mine more often. That's a great image.
