Super Takumar 105mm 2.8 – SOLD

Isn’t it strange when you really like something but never use it?  Just like an awesome band t-shirt that doesn’t quite fit or a pair of sneakers that look shit but fit really good.  That’s what happened with the Super Takumar 105mm f/2.8, it just didn’t fit right.  When I first got the lens [...]

A Day At The Races

I’ve lived around the corner from the Fukuyama Race Course for about three years and I’d never been there, usually because it stinks pretty bad and I’d rather do other things than watch horses run.  Anyway, a few of us decided to go for the afternoon and had a fantastic time.  Betting, taking a [...]

This photo was taken at Miyajima, an island close to Hiroshima City. Miyajima has a few deer roaming the island annoying visitors with nudges and by eating your clothes.

I decided to only use my Takumar lenses on this outing, especially [...]

Himeji Safari & Amusement park : Pt.1

Last weekend during Golden Week in Japan a group of friends, the wife and I went to Hemeji Safari and Amusement Park for a day out. I’ve never been to Safari Park, although there is one back in Adelaide, South Australia (where I lived prior to Japan).

For this trip, I decided to [...]

Photographic journey #5.1 – Old on New: Takumar on a Pentax K10D – Results

This is how I use my Takumar lenses on my Pentax K10D.

I attach the Pentax screw mount adapter until it locks in and screw in whatever lens I’m using, most likely the Super Takumar 55mm 1.8 (I also have the SMC Takumar 28mm 3.5 and the Super Takumar 135mm 3.5). I flick the [...]

Photographic journey #5 – Old on New: Takumar on a Pentax K10D

So i’ve been pretty busy learning and playing around with my K10D and I must admit i’m pretty happy with the results for only picking up a camera about 6 months ago. Enough self back patting, I still have a lot to learn and understand about photography and I feel that i’m being held [...]
