Nicely done! I think that maybe the first ones I've seen taken with a manual focus Takumar zoom. I read the specs, 12 foot minimum focus distance and 1.5 lbs!!!

K10D + Super Takumar 35/3.5

I have made a recent addition to my takumar collection, a pretty beaten up copy of auto takumar 85mm f1.8. (hey, but for around 50 years old I don´t care about beaten up look plus its condition made it payable for me to have a 85/1.8 I´ve wanted one for a long time but most go for 200 euro´s plus)




Some of the first sample shots I took. I should practice some more in harsh conditions but these are acceptable, all shot with wide open aperture:

Thanks Rick
Yea she is a real tank. Usually have a mono-pod attached, but these were taken hand held.
There is also a close up lens adapter that greatly reduces the minimum focusing distance.

By the way, Nice Halloween shot.

SMC Takumar 55mm f/2.











I also have a cropped version of the last one but I think the extra black expanse at the sides improves the photo.

I agree with your decision on the last one. The black frames, and definately adds to the visual of the image.

Good one

I was out and about with my K20D and S-M-C Takumar 85mm f/1.8. The fall colors are going to leave () us as there is some snow in the forecast later in the weekend. I seem to have lost some of my ability to manual focus over the last 50 years or so. Still I got a few keepers. All taken at 1/250 @ f/9.5, ISO 200, in a bright overcast.
