There is a revolution happening in digital cameras, and it’s all about miniaturization. We peruse 5 different SMC Takumars in this walk around Longwood Gardens.
I pulled out my Pentax FA* 85mm and Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50mm f/1.4 lenses for some fun with a beauty of a 1969 Trans Am.
Ice crystals captured with my 100mm and 200mm macro lenses during the recent cold spell.
Exploring two more excellent SMC Takumar lenses with the Lens Turbo: the 135mm f/2.5 and 100mm f/4 Macro.
More exploration with my Lens Turbo, this time with some Super-Multi-Coated Takumars: 24mm f/3.5, 50mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.8, and 135mm f/2.5.
One of the gems from the 35mm film days, the Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50mm f/1.4 lens is popular for use on modern cameras.
The Pentax-FA* 24mm f/2 is a small (for it’s focal length and aperture), well-built, sharp, fun lens.
Some shots with my delicious Pentax FA* 85mm f/1.4 lens.
