It's getting cold and dark here lately, so I spent some time taking photos of lenses and cameras...


I took these using a SMC Takumar 50/1.4... Links to larger images below each.

A bit impressionistic:



The reason I was shooting with the 50, I'd been using the Auto 55/1.8 but then took photos of the twins (Auto & SMC, in the lens section here)

These of the Yashinon DX 35 taken with an Auto-Takumar 55/1.8:

Why'd you drop the lens fetish thread?

Gimme more!

Nice Yashica, I just picked up a 124 mat not to long ago and I have loved every minute of it!

If all those goodies ever turn up missing I'm just letting you know right now I intend to fight extradition.

Impressive line up, indeed! It leaves me feeling a bit jealous to be honest.

One thing caught my eye was the square lens hood on the 124G; any clue where a fellow TLR owner might find another one like that?

thanks everyone... I may end up selling the Bessa I at some point.

For TLR accessories, here's where I bought my hood:

Rollei and Yashica TLR Accessories

The only problem with this hood is that it fits the inside bayonet, so you can't use it and a filter at the same time. The real Yashica and Rollei hoods fit the outside bayonet, so you can have a filter and hood it too

But I do have an alternate way around this - I have a Bay 1 to Series VI adaptor, plus a lot of Series VI bits to play with:

Here it's on the Diacord with a yellow filter + retainer ring


And here, on the Bessa with yellow-orange filter and a lens shade.

Thanks for the link!

Oooooo...... a close-up lens for the Yashica!

I am impressed!
