Thank you for the tip on the viewfinder enlarger... I'm not ready to replace the focus screen yet :)

I suppose that could help me; if my subject isn't moving and I can get used to stopping down while looking through the viewfinder :D
Thanks for the tip - isn't 105mm f/2.8 "expensive" now?

Well thank you very much.
I am already in love with the S-M-C 55mm f/1.8. I still have to play a bit more with the S-M-C 200mm f/4 since the focus ring is a lot more tight, but it seems to have amazing quality from f/5.6.
I still have to get my head around this manual focus thing - it takes me A LONG TIME to focus right now, but practice makes perfect (I hope)
... what to buy next? :lol:
I'm thinking perhaps a S-M-C 35mm f/2 :D

So, after work I got home and attached the adapter and fired a couple of test shots with my first Takumar. Boy oh boy, this manually focusing is gonna take practice :D
First one in focus after a couple of tries:
S-M-C Takumar 55mm f/1.8 - @f/2.8
The lens seems great, but also a new experience. Btw is there anyway of knowing when the lens has been screwed in firmly enough? I am thinking it must impact focusing if not properly attached.

I finally found/received an original adapter and today the Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 55mm f/1.8 also arrived, so now I can finally join this Club!
Now I don't have any experience with these old wonders, but to me the build quality of this 55mm seems AMAZING - is this what I can expect from all the old Taks or am I giving it too much credit because I am so happy that the lens arrived today ? :D
Can't wait to get home from work to try it out...!
