Testing performance Vintage lens
Lens: Takumar (Bayonet) 135 mm 1:2.5 Camera: K-30 ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: 1/20s Aperture: F5.6

I adapted a peace of black cardboard inside the lens with a round hole at the center (diam: 12 mm) to reduce the amount of light in order to increase performance of the lens. I have obtained good results specially in focusing and contrast. Please let me hear your comments. What do you think about this technique?

Inside the lens? Would you be able to provide a picture? I would be interested in seeing what it looks like

Beautiful dog. The lens seems to be working well for you with your do-it-yourself adjustments.
