The Tak IMO is a slightly warm lens because of the thorium rear element

LOLOL in more ways than one!!!

but their minilab ALWAYS cuts me part of the frames because it's not optimised for 24x36mm

That's not good. if you're going to offer a film scanning service as part of development and printing, you need not to be clipping all the images. The occasional miss? Maybe. But every shot? Unacceptable.

Well not so bad as the Canon FD 35 mm f2. faboulus lens, but VERY yellow. It looks like a superwarming filter, here there are few comparison between the 35 mm and the 50mm f1.4 SSC with a 81A warming filter:









The yellow cast can be pleasant:



But in most of the cases it's intrusive.

I've got a similar yellow cast issue with my Tak/6x7 105/2.4. I tend to keep it for B&W work, for that reason. (And instead use my 90/2.8 LS when I need a normal lens on colour.) This was on Porta 800:

Hi, I've been a long time lurker, but haven't posted until now. My first several SLRs were Pentaxs...P3N and ME Super. Switched to Canon EOS for AF back in the day and have been shooting Canon DLRS and M4/3 for a while now. But recently got nostalgic when my father-in-law picked up a Minolta SRT-SCII and 50mm F1.7 MD lens for $2 at a garage sale. Then a buddy at work gave me a bag of old expired color and B&W C-41 35mm and 120 film.

Very nice pics and welcome to this madmen's cage.

Thanks Cuthbert, I've just gotten over a maddening case of G.A.S. Now I need to sort out what I want to keep and send the rest back to eBay

Ebay is a mortal trap: you see so much good gear that you spend almost everyday checking it and you always buy something, cameras, lenses, hoods, little cute accessories...

Got a whole pile of film back from the lab. Slowly going through it and seeing what turned out and what didn't.



Pentax 6x7.
Super-Multi-Coated Takumar/6x7 200mm f4.
Lomography Color Negative 800.

My usual complaint about Lomo's 120 colour stock remains: there's so much dirt on the negative that when looking at the scans full sized at times it looks like someone's taken a pepper shaker to it. This was my last roll of it and though I had hoped it would be a good cheap colour alternative, I think I'll be sticking to Porta 800 for my 120 high speed colour.

The shot looks good never the less.

This is the first roll of it that I've gotten back where I've loved the colours. Despite being high-speed, it actually seems to have turned best during the middle of a bright cloudless day.

A few more:







Canon AE-1.
FD 70-210 f4.
CineStill 800T.
(A grainy film at the best of times; these were exposed somewhere around EI1000-1250.)

Sadly most of the shots I took on this roll didn't turn out. A decent amount were ruined by camera shake, and most of the rest were spoiled by a gentleman in front of me with a baseball cap tipped upwards who had the unerring ability to turn his head so the brim shot into frame just as I clicked the shutter.

A few more:

That second one is a keeper. Marvelous lighting.

Few bokeh games with a Canon FTb and a FD 50mm 1.4 SSC:













Even if a lot of people consider the Canon 50/1.4 "the" standard lens for me it's a little "plain", I prefer the OOF behaviour of Pentax, Soviet and Nikon glass.
