A mint Pentax Super-Takumar 2.5/135 (m42) followed me home today... my first MF lens.
Used it with the AF confirm adapter I picked up on ebay - fools the camera into thinking there's a lens attached (a Canon EF 35-80mm f/4-5.6 which I don't have) .. it also fakes the Aperture at f/1.4 and the Focal Length at 50 mm.. which of course I couldn't do with this lens...
So the EXIF data ends up wrong, but then again I'm not taking pictures of EXIF data....
Takumar 55mm f/1.8 @ f/2.0 testshot. Made with a Canon EOS adapter (with AF confirmation chip) on low light condition. No flash.
My Father bought this new in late 1959 or early 1960. A Pentax SV body gives an idea of the size of this thing.
