Not the one I promised, but a forum member asked to see this lens of mine on a different thread - so here it is: Rikenon XR 35/2.8 (early version):

Extra nudge as these were shot jpg - these are straight out of camera, zero adjustments.

I knew you'd get a kick out of that... it does help when you use top shelve glass - these were taken with the A 50/2.8 Macro.

The shot showing the minimum aperture and minimum focal distance is darker than I'd like, and a bit crooked, but I can live with it.

The coatings one, it was double-hand-held (subject and camera handheld), so not much that post can fix there.

double-hand-held can be tricky, especially with a MF lens....

nice job!

that's not gold, that's uranium!

I came really close to nabbing a Tomioka branded Chinon once... I got a 1.7 and 1.8 which are gorgeous, but no 1.4...

My 1.4's are 2 A series (one has a slow aperture) and an SMC Tak.

Of that bunch I tend to grab the M/S most often. I just like the way it renders and prefer it tactilely. Plus it looks sexy - IMO.

The Tak 50/1.4s don't really associate with those others, they prefer to keep to themselves

Here is the latest addition to my Pentax 67 lens collection, the Pentax 67 100mm f 4.0 macro (1:1 with life-size converter). This lens has a unique configuration, which you can read about in Pentax Forum lens reviews. From my first photographic walk-about, I can say that it is a valuable addition to my flower photography hobby, and I hope to share many flower and landscape photos taken with this lens.
