"After the wipeout"

(focus was on foot)

Previous to fall, and after recovery - "checking the wheel"

f/1.8

Nuff sad.

I was on a Camera shop hunt in Osaka yesterday where there's about 8 or 9 shops that sell used gear, some shops just charging rediculous amounts ($600 USD for a SMC 50 1.4) and other much more resonable prices. One shop had three Super Takumar 105's, two for $150 USD (mint) and another slightly worn exterior but perfect glass for $50. So obviously I'm the proud owner of the latter 105 and I'll post some photos in the next few days.

Nice .... enjoy the 105mm ... it's a superb lens.

Stratman · 08-29-2008, 04:59 PM

I received my Super Tak 28 3.5 today, and it is in like new condition, as in no visible wear, ANYWHERE !! Even the original case is practically flawless. Here are a few quick shots I took with it this evening in the yard.... other than exposure comp on a few of these images, the only PP done on these was converting to JPEG in Raw Therapee, and cropping and resizing in PSE3.

Well ... I finally took a few of my photos to my local camera shop to get printed off (and enlarged) just to see how they turned out in print instead of on the screen.

All taken with Super Taks on the K10D ... and one with my Tamron 90mm (prior to getting Super Taks) ... the shop owner (who originally put me onto Pentax and got me away from Canikon was impressed).

This image I had enlarged to a 10"x15"

I had this one enlarged to 8"x11"

And this enlarged to 8"x11" as well

A couple from my (non-SMC, non-Super, plain ol') Takumar 200mm f/3.5 . . .

Quite a nice lens.

Nesster · 08-31-2008, 03:12 AM

That cell tower's a hoot... lovely industrial stuff there, guys. My longest Tak is 55mm, I just don't seem to get/need anything longer Takumar wise.

Here's my de-yellowed SMC 50/1.4, a decent enough lens

Stratman · 08-31-2008, 12:52 PM

My new "babies"

look at how clean the 28 3.5 is, it looks new !!

How long did the de-yellowing take. I've had mine set up for 4 days & appears to be clearing but it has been Winter here in OZ with mostly cloud cover last week.
