My EOS-1N RS film camera with a Pentax Super-Takumar 50mm f/1.4 M42 screwfit lens mounted via an adapter. The adapter is one of the "focus confirmation" types with the electrical contacts on it. It works perfectly. You can get one from Wei Chen, who's here: aterychen@gmail.com

He's a student at Glasgow University, so there's no customs hassles etc with the adapter coming from the far-east, and for just over £20 quid he even throws in a free rubber bulb blower and a proper Canon rear lens cap. Brilliant deal.

For the time when I'll be missing them all...

Discovered this sitting in u published. Was from a Macro Monday theme a while back but it didn’t make the cut at the time. Taken on the Tak 35 extended

With a SMC Takumar 55mm f1.8.

I've been taking a lot of photos with my Takumar 55mm's recently - for a new video. These lenses are a joy to use!

Adding to my album of photos with the rare Takumar 58mm f2.

This Sonnar design lens, made in the late 1950s, produces lovely colours. It's not bitingly sharp wide open, and the bokeh is a bit hit and miss. It's not surprising (to me) that Takumar replaced this lens with the Auto-Takumar 55mm f1.8

The Italianate Garden in Chiswick House. With the old greenhouse, dating back to the early 1800s. Given a sepia treatment.

Out for my walk last night I fitted my Sony a6000 with a m42 mount Super Takumar 105mm f/2.8 lens, also did something I've never done before & that was to set the camera to take B&W JPEGs!

WOW I've forgot just how good this lens is! but on a crop sensor camera its not wide enough to get the whole of the island in! so this is a 5 shot handheld pano.

One of my oldest and rarest M42 lenses - the Takumar 58mm f2, from 1957. The lens has a Sonnar design that was dropped for subsequent 55mm lenses.
