F2 Test 01
Was given a 'Super Takumar 50mm f2' off an Asahi Pentax S1a that was all jammed up so I gave my really GROTTY Kodak PJ800 dated 1999 another go to do some tests and on some other Super Takumar lenses at full aperture -- only ONE scanned here. This time I rated the grotty film at 100ASA instead of 200ASA and developed longer in my C41 mix and got much better negs but still with the huge grain, so rest of film went into bin ! Camera was my original 1961 Asahi Pentax S3 that I had SOLD 40 years ago and the owner gave it back as 'Not Working' . The older 50mm f2 lens is sharp enough at f2.
