Thanks for your comment, Corné. You're right, the old Taks are still more than capable on today's DSLRs. This particular copy of the 55mm is older than I am and that makes me smile every time I use it. Groete!

Anyone who underestimates any glass made by Asahi for Pentaxes of any age, are out of the picture.

I love my vintage Pentax K-7, and have set it aside with the Pentax M42 adapter somewhat permanently installed for use primarily with my Takumar M42 collection. Here are a few garden flowers.
