Welcome to the forums from Mexico.

Great start to a Pentax lens collection. The older glass still has so much to offer, I'm glad to see you are putting it to use.
Thank you for the comment LSR. I enjoy working macro photos with manual lenses, I feel like keeping the control of my photos even if sometimes the good focus is hard to obtain. I prefear old lenses because even if they are not as perfect as the new ones, they have more character & I feel my photos more living.

Yesterday I found one of the last Takumar I was looking for:
- Pentax SMC Fish Eye Takumar 17 mm f4 lens M42

I have worked a lot with Jena from GDR lenses as well as Russian ones, and it is time for me to explore new horizons.

I have always looked for good lenses for my work, but I haven't the mind for collection, look just first photo with a fantastic SMC Fish Eye Takumar 17mm f4

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

I remember reading a magazine article many years ago which was praising the construction on the Pentax fish-eye. I wish I would have saved the article or even remembered what publication it was in.
