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.

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.

In 1969 I was using one of the last of the Pentax S1 cameras, that I'd bought somewhere around 1965, and I was saving my pathetic photographic assistant's wages in anticipation of trading it in on one of those cool new Spotmatics...
I recently bought an Asahi Takumar 17mm f4 fisheye lens and Today I got out to see what it can do. An interior shot. I sort of wish my house actually looked round like this.
Asahi Pentax Takumar 200mm f/3.5 on Zenit E with Fomapan 100 Classic. Semi-stand with Rodinal, 1:100, for 70 mins at 20º C. Negative scanned on Epson Perfection V500.
A mix of the AP, S and K. The AP was first introduced in 1957.
If the Nikon F (previous post) was the camera that had a major impact on the world of professional photographers, then the Pentax AP, followed later by the the Spotmatic, helped changed the world for serious amateur photographers.
Photographed with a Helios 40.
Had to get this repaired as the meter wasn't working. Eric Hendrickson, the Pentax repair wiz, is the go-to guy for all matters Pentax in the USA.
This Electro Spotmatic is kind of cool - using SMC or S-M-C lenses there's open aperture metering and aperture priority exposure automation. It has a hot shoe. Oh and the coolest thing, if you move the shutter dial to the second auto, two little curtains slide across the view finder!
The original Asahi Pentax 35mm SLR. The first eye-level pentaprism camera from Asahi Pentax. 1957-1958.
That S is a rare engraving. The Asahi Pentax S camera was only made for a around one year from 1958, with a small production run.
Photographed with a Macro Takumar 50mm f4.
Made in 1959, with its zebra style Auto Takumar 55mm f1.8 lens.
I decided to produce a YouTube video on "The most beautiful cameras ever made" and needed some beauty shots of the cameras I own. This proved to be the hardest part of the project. I ended up going for this style and background.
