Tryin out my Taks! · 09:05 PM

And the results are in... I'm in love! I took out my new (to me) 35mm f/3.5, 55mm f/2.0, and my 150mm f/4 to a nearby town, Aiken, SC and visited Hopeland Gardens.

Sorry for not having anything original, just flowers again, sigh...

55mm f/2.0

150mm f/4

35mm f/3.5

Thanks for looking!

These are all very sharp images.
You're using these old Taks to perfection.
Well done and congrats on getting them!

Excellent work there RD, you made them shine.

Thanks,

I love the combination of my K10D with split-circle focusing screen and these old Takumar lenses. None of these images had any PP sharpening and a good bit of them were shot wide open too!

I took along my M 100mm f/2.8, and I wasn't even tempted to shoot with it! It is a nice lens, but no Takumar for sure!

Of course no PP. Taks have it's own PP engine built on.

Great stuff RD.

I don't have any Taks as yet but I like what I've seen from them so far.
