August testing can be so tough! Summer vacations. Back to school time. There are a lot of distractions! So proud of all of our students who prepared and did their best at the August Belt Testing!
my first ever test shot from Nikon D3 with Nikkor 55mm f/1.2 Ai - picture uploaded straight from the camera without any post-processing (there's no sharpening, no color or curve adjustment, nothing).
Mamiya/Sekor 55mm f/1.4 M42 lens
Camera: Pentax K-50 on "bright" mode @ 100 ISO, WB 5500K
Edited the levels just for brightness adjustment.
A little back story... I got this lens from an old Mamiya camera that I found in a thrift shop. The end of the barrel is dented and it won't take a filter. The aperture was slow due to oil in the blade mechanism. After some time, I finally fully disassembled the lens and brought it back to it's former glory. Now the blades are snappy, and it's still tack-sharp after pulling it apart. Unfortunately, the camera it came off is still a mess.
Anywho... Just got my M42 to K mount adapter in the mail, and this lens is really good. I like the color rendition here. I did some tests at each aperture, also, and it performs well from f/2 all the way up to f/16. At f/1.4, it struggles a little, but is respectable at such a large aperture.
Next, I need to use this bad boy with some film. Great lens! Maybe I'll post my aperture tests when I get them together.
