You mean you didn't get the memo?
It has been discussed in several threads and some people are firmly of the opinion that the K-5 is so stellar that you just can't use old glass on them. Being the contrary s.o.b. that I am, I naturally slapped my oldest Takumar on...a late 1950s kit lens and went out today.
Pentax K-5
Auto-Takumar 55/2
It is a crying shame that this advance in technology has made our beloved Takumars obsolete like this. (I screwed up the exposure when I shot it and this shot received a +2EV adjustment in Lightroom. I
never got such a clean boost from the K20D and usually dared not go above +0.7.....maybe +1 in a pinch.
I'm glad I'm not smart enough to understand all that technical mumbo-jumbo that gets tossed around by the pixel-peepers. I might actually get hoodwinked by it if I were.
Focusing with the stock screen was annoying, but I received confirmation today that my Katz-Eye is ready and I hope to have it by next weekend at the latest (3-6 days shipping to Japan by USPS).
