While sorting through "stuff" the other day......
Lens: Sigma Super Wide II f 2.8 24mm Camera: K20D Photo Location: Alberta, Canada ISO: 100 
Posted By: Heinrich Lohmann, 10-22-2011, 10:05 PM

....I came across this old Sigma that I had never used in the digital age. So I put it on the K20 ( which I had after some procrastination repaired by Pentax) and went out into the backyard with it. When at first I had thought to get rid of this lens, I think I'll keep it.

f:2.8


f:3.5


f:4.5


f:4.5


f:9


Comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Yep there still is some live in that old Sigma! Sharp and a nice bokeh. Ik like the fourth one with all the details in the leaf.

Thank you cupic, we are having a nice long Fall season. Last year this time we had snow on the ground and it stayed to the Spring.

Take care,

Hi Charlie and thank you. That Takumar is a nice lens, I should have kept mine.

Take care,

Hi Bob and thank you, some of the old lenses are indeed very good, maybe not as convienient as the modern version but optically as good or better than some.

Take care,
