100/4 SMC Pentax-A, mf

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!

Something a bit more abstract this week. Lens is the smc PENTAX-M 50mm f1.4

After a series of images from a Carl Zeiss Ultron 50mm f1.8, here's another Ultron-design lens, a SMC Takumar 55mm f1.8.

SMC Pentax-M 50mm 1:1.4

I have been through about 20 Pentax Takumar 50mm 1.4's have had all versions including this one, the Super Multi Coated 50mm 1.4 old body style. This is the best one I've found, this is going to be my keeper.

Dvärggalaxen det Lilla Magellanska Molnet, NGC 292 är inte så liten på himlen. Väl synlig med blotta ögat på södra halvklotet, Dess utsträckning på himlen är flera gånger större än månen trots avståndet på 200 tusen ljusår från Jorden. Totalt 53 timmar exponering med smala filter från Heavens Mirror Observatory, norr om Canberra i Australien, gjorde att jag kunde vaska fram många detaljer. Både klotformade stjärnhopar och en mängd nebulosor i rött på bilden. Bildbehandlad i PixInsight och LR.

Lucked into timing this shot just right to have the gap in the alley filled not only with a person walking, but also a car driving through.
