It's dull, wet and windy outside. Time for some colour and warmth to lift the mood.

I recently bought an Asahi Takumar 17mm f4 fisheye lens and Today I got out to see what it can do. I'm going to be keeping an eye out for bright partly cloudy skies.

The famous bokeh. Photographed using a 7.4mm extension ring.

Midday, breezy and hand held - the perfect set up for epic failure. Luckily the Tak 50/4 Macro was up to the challenge.

Super Takumar 50 mm 1.4 lens (7 elements) with extension tube

Last week I won, at an online auction, 2 takumar lenses. One is the auto-takumar 55mm f2.2 (black aperture ring) and the other is the takumar 200mm f5.6.

I was lucky to bring those home for less than 50 euro and considering the good condition of the lenses it was a hit!

This picture is taken with the 55mmf2.2 but condition of light is not ideal outside with cloudy/snowy weather. So I'm eager to test this lens with some backlight/shade situation to see the result of the bokeh.

The 55mmf2.2 is not the same construction quality as the other takumars in my possession as it has some plastic parts so in hand it doesn't have that quality feel. The 200mmf5.6 is a big surprise to me regarding the look and construction quality. I thought it would be beasty as the tak200mmf3.5 but it's the half of it and it's all metal and so beautiful! Drowback for me is the f5.6 considering that I mostly shoot hand-held.

I recently bought an Asahi Takumar 17mm f4 fisheye lens and Today I got out to see what it can do. Fairly typical of fisheye lenses.

I recently bought an Asahi Takumar 17mm f4 fisheye lens and Today I got out to see what it can do. I was hoping for more distortion in the trees but I don't think I got close enough.

Same plant, different day, different lens and a different view.

Wet conditions and a lovely thick fog this morning. Pure heaven to be amongst it all (and not at work :)))

It looked pretty sad in the op shop, but this test shot shows how well it scrubbed up. Another Tak 50 saved from the bin and back on a camera where it belongs.
