Really like the composition in your first one, and the second one has a very nice pop to it (:

Excellent - I'm sure you'll like it. Petite yet lethal. I bought mine from Eric

I am new to this forum not sure if this is correct place to ask this question
I recently bought Takumar SMC lens 50mm 1.4 lens in a garage sale for 40$, it seems to have some dust inside the lens.
(I cannot use the lens as I am waiting for eos adapter to fit onto my canon SLR, ordered adapter in amazon)
Should I just cancel my amazon order, is it worth it to use the lens with dust inside it, does dust matter
Thanks for any help / suggestion

You're unlikely to find a lens of that age -- or any reasonable age, actually -- WITHOUT dust in it.

thanks a lot for sharing the link and the encouraging words, I am speechless
I never knew the power of lens (in fact basically no impact of anything on dust)
I will wait for adapter and then let u know how my lens is
