More Of The Same Shit + A Happy New Year

Yokohama

Lately I’ve been using my AF Pentax DA* 50-135 lens so it was refreshing to use my Takumar lenses again, the 35mm Super Takumar is a little gem of a lens, and the 55mm 1.8 is perfect when sun starts to set.  I’ve also been experimenting lately with my B&W conversions and really like [...]

Unused and Weary

Super Takumar 35mm 3.5 : f/3.5 : ISO – 560: Shutter – 1/20

After The Rains

I’m not usually one for flowers, leaves or shit like that but who can resist rain drops?  I so often underestimate my Takumar 35mm for having a slow aperture but she really pulled through on this shot.  Great contrast, depth of field and quite obviously sharp.  Though I like aspects of these types of [...]

Viva La Film And All His Friends

In the new year I finally got a battery for my Asahi Spotmatic SP camera that had been hibernating for over two years.  Loaded with the Super Takumar 35mm 3.5 and Fujifilm Neopan 400, I took my first roll of film since my Holga days and it felt good.  I must admit [...]

Asahi Spotmatic SP + Super Takumar 35mm 3.5 + Fujifilm Presto 400

When I first bought my Takumar lenses to use with my Pentax K10D, the package I bought through Yahoo Auctions Japan included a Super Multi Coated Takumar 28mm 3.5, Super Takumar 55mm 1.8 and a Super Takumar 135mm 3.5 as well as two Asahi Spotmatic SP cameras.  For two years I’ve been [...]

Blurred Horizon

Super Takumar 35mm 3.5 : f/3.5 : ISO – 800 : Shutter – 1/4000

Sometimes, mood and atmosphere can be more important than sharp and well exposed photos for capturing the perfect moment.  I saw Rick here standing on the waters edge and (on purpose), unfocused him and shot from a [...]

Day 2 : Part 1 – Nara

Who will today bring?

A temple which houses her.

Purification Ritual

A door, splintering grain.

Buddha, never hiding.

Buddha, a flame for so many A stone garment that sways.

Guard this place, your soul depends on it.

Games for good luck.

I say goodby to this place and reflect on what I’ve seen.

Super Takumar 35mm f/3.5 – Lens Test

After having this lens for a few days, I haven’t had the chance to take a lot of photos with it but a few things I noticed is one, it’s really small (more so than the SMC Takumar 28mm f/3.5) and two, it’s very sharp, even wide open (f/3.5). Here’s some size comparison shots [...]
