Latest Review Posted	Bellows-Takumar/Super-Multi-Coated Bellows Takumar 100mm F4 I used mine extensively on my spotmatic F. I used it as a short telephoto as well as macro. I was able to balance everything including a Rollie hammer head flash, focus and use the ring to stop down to the required aperture. My motivation was to outdo everyone else with their expensive nikon gear and hasselbads with their wildlife photos. The later was easy than you might expect because they had real trouble with the back ground composition. Over the years I have taken some great shots, but my eyes are becoming dimmer and I depend heavily on autofocus. I still pull the lens and bellows out to do macro work. For some reason it seems a lot brighter in the viewfinder than my old takamar F5 50mm macro. The lens and bellows is a lot of fun if you can get hands on them. I had a t mount that seemed to easily fit on the bellows. Do not use the pentax m42 adaptor. It locks onto the camera and you won't be able to screw off the bellows. :(
