The Dartmoor All-Star Synchronised Grazing Team. Taken with--you guessed it--the 20mm.

Sorry about the endless pony photos. That's what we've got around here: lots of big rocks, an occasional tree, and herds of ponies. Some sheep and cows too, but they're not as photogenic. Tastier, but less photogenic.

Dave, what camera are you using the 20mm on?

I use a Samsung GX-10 (K10D clone) and a Pentax K-S1. The above shot is with the K-S1 -- it's a much better little camera than its position at the bottom of the range suggests.

Ah, okay, I was wondering why there was less perspective distortion than I expected.

I took these shots on the Wild Pacific Trail, Ucluelet, BC, Nov 2015.
Camera: KS-1
Lens: SMC Tak 50
I used a small LED flashlight to get some light on the subjects.

If you like my photos, I'm glad. Thank you. I'm just expressing appreciation for Takumar and this lens in particular.

I do like them, as well as the others' shots with the Tak 20. That is one I need to add to my arsenal eventually!

Long Beach, Vancouver Island
Pentax K-S1
Super Tak 55/1.8
I used Raw Photo Processor 64 for the B&W conversion.

Great portrait with the 20, Ultraviolet. So much for not using wide angles to do portraits. . .
I was lying down to take a nap when I thought the sprinkler fixture on the ceiling would make an interesting photo. So balancing on a rickety chair and a desk and trying to get the fixture in focus while craning my neck back ninety degrees, this is the result, taken at f4.5 and MFD (or very close to it). One shot. (The picture was cropped, but no PP other than that.)

With the SMC 28mm/3.5. I do use other lenses than the 20mm sometimes (xposted).
